Missing bus stop 8239 sign on New North Road

Has anyone else noticed that the bus stop sign for 8239 New North Road (outside old Rocky's cafe, at intersection of Richardson Road and New North Road) has been missing for the past 2-3 weeks?
As regular user of public transport for the past 6-7 years, was waiting to catch a bus (Route 22) and noticed that the bus stop sign and the 'bus stop road marking' had suddenly disappeared.
The pole had been neatly removed and the road marking was now orange- the no parking marking!
There had been no warning/notices or any other communication from AT in the past few weeks if AT was removing or moving the bus stop.
Most bus drivers knew nothing about it. Some drivers stopped for the commuters waiting at the stop, others did not.
Some drivers knew that a bus stop existed in the system, but not sure if they should stop, as there was no bus stop sign!
Waited for a few days and called AT.
The staff there had absolutely no idea of what was happening. She said the bus stop does still exist in their system, and the drivers should be stopping there when signaled. But I kept insisting that the sign was gone, and there was no evidence left of any bus stop there!
I have laid several written complaints with AT, but no response.
On one hand AT is promoting active use of public transport, and then the bus stops go missing.
**On a similar note, last week the bus stop sign outside PaknSave (8241) New North Road, had been damaged badly and fallen to the ground. Reported this to AT as well.
The sign had now moved to the grass, with no post until yesterday!
Will be interesting to know what other public transport users out there think of this.
Thank you

Not everyone trapped by alcohol is an alcoholic

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.
Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.
Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.
Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.
Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:
"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."
"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."
"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."

Create a bedtime schedule that includes a hot bath or shower. Take it about two hours before lying down. Add a couple drops of essential oils such as chamomile, rosemary, lavender, or lemon to the water for a more efficient experience. It will soothe your nerves and help you calm down; it's a simple step to add to your at-home remedies for insomnia.
Tart Cherry Juice
An excellent source of tryptophan, tart cherry juice is a natural sleep aid. The amino acid transforms to serotonin, which in turn converts to melatonin. Serotonin helps regulate your sleep cycles. Melatonin can lower your body temperature and lead to drowsiness. Indulge in a half cup (up to one cup) of tart cherry juice and allow yourself to drift off to sleep.
Chamomile Tea
Tea, in general, is an at-home remedy for several health ailments. Chamomile tea has been related to treating sleeping problems for centuries. A compound known as apigenin in chamomile might be the key to the natural drowsiness.
