Kingsland train station speaker system
Hello to those who live in the vicinity of Kingsland train station, just wondering if anyone else is bothered by the increase in the volume of the speaker announcements?
Thursday week ago they carried out some speaker volume checks and ever since the announcements are around two times the volume. We can hear all of them from inside the house on Walters Rd. This happened last year following the world cup when they didn't turn the volume down but I cannot see any reason for the increase this time. I work from home so hear this constantly 24/7. If anyone else is bothered by it please send in or call in a complaint to AT transport or send a message to our local MP.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
