Fatal incident in Pakuranga

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A person has died in Auckland’s Pakuranga Heights after reports of gunshots early on Monday.

What you need to know:
- A series of gunshots were reported around 6.45am on Marvon Downs Ave.
- There were at least eight police cars around a property on Marvon Downs Ave about 7.30am. Armed police stood guard over a cordoned off area of the street.
- A person was located in a vehicle at the intersection of Marvon Downs Ave and Pixie Place and were attended to by medics - but died at the scene.
- Earlier on Monday, police shift commander Kerry Watson said officers were responding to a “critical incident”. Watson said it was going to take some time for police to piece together what had happened that led up to the incident.
- Despite the proximity to Elm Park School, the school will remain open. However the Principal shared that “There is a strong police presence which may inhibit access to the school from Cascades Road side,” Baleicakau said.

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?
