Police warning over planned anti-mandate march on Auckland Harbour Bridge this Saturday

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Kia ora neighbours. Police have issued a warning ahead of a planned anti-vaccine mandate march on Auckland Harbour Bridge, saying it would be unlawful and potentially dangerous.

The Freedom and Rights Coalition, founded by Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki, posted on their Facebook page on Thursday morning that a protest across the landmark was expected on Saturday.

But despite the plan to march from the North Shore and across the Harbour Bridge on Saturday, police said they had not received any applications to have the bridge closed to traffic.

Police said they had been made aware of the protest, which they would monitor and “respond accordingly” to.

“Crossing the Harbour Bridge on foot would be unlawful and so police will be working to prevent this as it could be extremely dangerous to those walking on the bridge and to other road users,” said a police spokeswoman.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT HELP NEEDED😄

Helen from Totara Vale

For my lovely 🍓 89yo mum. Ideally 1 - 2 days pw. I'm looking at 8am - 2pm. Making her breakfast (weetbix, eggs, toast), mid morning porridge & lunch. Basic cooking skills & light cleaning duties (cleaning bathroom, keeping lounge tidy)😄 & keeping her company when im out food shopping/attending appointments. No showering as we have a carer doing that. She loves company & her Chinese TV. Mum is a softly spoken person with good SOH. Suited to someone similar like her & reliable. I'm there in the mornings & can give you guidance & support. An awesome opportunity for someone who loves working with the elderly. If you know of anyone or perhaps yourself you'd love to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😄

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
