Leigh Scenic Reserve trackwork gets underway
Fences have now gone up at Leigh Scenic Reserve, Bayview, in preparation for stage 1 of the work to upgrade the tracks to help prevent kauri dieback disease. There will also be 3 shoe-cleaning stations installed.
The project has been split into 5 stages, with stages 1-3 at Leigh Scenic Reserve and stages 4-5 at the Glenfield Coastal Walkway between Lynn Reserve and Manuka Reserve.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
