Royal Heights Shopping Centre
Massey Birdwood Settlers Association your local resident and ratepayers group is concerned. Royal Heights/Massey East could be the new Te Atatu Peninsula. It needs development not into housing but a modern new shopping centre with café bars, and similar acting as a meeting place for locals. The Association is concerned about the fact that Massey residents are paying $1.89 for a litre of 91 petrol yet in on Swanson Road the price is $1.81. The area has a good percentage of homes with good views and a nice ambiance. New housing is being built down Moire Road. The fact is we do not need to take second best. Westgate is not our local shopping centre and is a dying shopping centre. The area has a great rugby club, an athletics club and a great park. We can be the best. The Association has written to the local board asking for its help to put pressure on the owners of Royal Heights shopping centre to turn the centre into the centre of the future. It is great to see residents who are keen to a great shopping centre that will become a focal point of the area with a lovely park bordering the centre for people to enjoy.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
