Here in New Lynn the council has given permission for an industrial sized 100 child childcare centre with 3 floors of shoebox sized, 2 bed boarding house rooms on top, in breach of zoning rules, with zero parking but plenty of bike racks. The street is chocka with parked cars as it is. New developments no longer need to provide parking. Imagine, on top of this, 100 cars twice a day dropping off and picking up kids with virtually nowhere to park! Thanks Auckland Council!!
Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced plumber to replace an Electric hot water cylinder please. Please get him to call me on 0275 828 978. Thanks,

The beckoning and winking old gent has been a familiar face in the central city since 1960 when he first graced the side of the Farmers department store on Hobson St.
The cost of storing Santa during the year and the upkeep of the ageing structure led to last year being his last appearance.
Many Aucklanders have fond memories of seeing the popular Father Christmas.

The Thom St development in New Lynn is being opened by Housing Minister Megan Woods today. The new properties replaced 16 standalone homes which were built in the 1940s. The development includes seven two-storey standalone homes, 27 two-storey townhouses, and 48 apartments across three buildings. All of them are built to modern standards, with double-glazing and insulation, and the site is near key public transport routes.
Woods said it was "enormously satisfying" to see the progress which was being made on public housing in the city. "The unseen part of a lot of public housing, particularly in our large scale projects is the significant infrastructure work that enables other affordable and market homes to be built, which is key to increasing supply," she said. The New Lynn development, which was announced under the National-led Government, will provide much-needed relief to around 292 people on the state housing waiting list. The list soared to 20,000 last month - triple the number in 2017. So far, 33 of the homes have been tenanted. While the Labour Government is aiming to build 12,400 state houses over the next four to five years and another 2000 transitional homes, that is not enough to keep up with rising demand. That demand is driven by escalating house prices, rents increasing faster than incomes, and a dire undersupply of affordable homes. The Government says the growing wait-list is partly because it is not turning anyone away, while previous governments applied more discretion. The new homes are part of the largest house-building programme since the 1960s, in which 5000 state houses are being replaced by 25,000 homes in Auckland - a mix of public, affordable and market homes. The scale of the construction, while much-needed, has upset a few communities along the way. Some housing advocates are upset at the ratio of affordable houses to houses which are sold on the open market. In one of the largest developments, in Māngere, 2700 state houses are being demolished for 3000 new state houses and 7000 private homes. In its defence, the Government says selling homes on the open market allows it to fund further development, and that building large blocks of public housing concentrates poverty - leading to ghettos. Advocates have also expressed concerns that mixed developments can lead to gentifrication, which breaks up people's social networks as they are priced out of the area. Kainga Ora must find homes for the original state housing tenants while the sites are redeveloped. The Government has previously said that most of the New Lynn tenants were rehoused within other Kainga Ora properties.
