Surgery helps Māngere Bridge girl to walk
Hi neighbours, a five-year-old girl can walk after a long-awaited surgery. Ella's family left Māngere Bridge on ANZAC Day in 2018 and travelled to the USA where she had a selective operation. After being born at 25 weeks, Ella's mum was told Ella would never walk, talk or recognise her parents. She had defied those odds and made great progress. Read the story.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
