Family Statement! Kāinga Ora Update for Bolton Street / Marlowe Road 19/06

Benji from Blockhouse Bay

Kia ora whānau, after the recent RNZ article on Kāinga Ora I have managed to track down some family members of Roy ‘Tarby’ Thompson. It was fantastic talking to them and hearing stories about the man including how he got his nickname (Tarby not Darby). They have sent me the attached statement to share with the community and media. I have put it together as a poster if you would like to save it and share around. It is clear the land was donated for pensioner housing and this should remain the case in the redevelopment.

Additionally I have received a phone call from the lawyers. They are still working on our case and are looking deeply into the sale of the land specifically. No word yet on resource consent and I have a meeting with the CEO of Kāinga Ora next week.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
