What skills are at risk of being lost in our communities?

With universities starting up last week, so brings first-time flatters trying their hand at cooking for the first time. In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

Hey mount roskill neighbours

Reuben from Mount Roskill

Hey Mount Roskill folk, can I encourage you all to look out for your neighbours (and if you haven't spoken to your neighbours, say "G'day mate" or "Kia ora" or something).

Sometimes it's the small things that really make a community a better place and can brighten someone's day. The reason I say this is because I overheard two neighbours a few houses away from my place, literally yelling and swearing at each other for a good 5 minutes today in Kimber Hall Ave - and it appeared that neither neighbour took steps to de-escalate. I don't know what the context of the discussion was, and I didn't initially even know where the yelling was coming from until I spoke with someone else who saw it. But the whole ordeal just reminded me that actually I can do better to make others in the neighbourhood feel welcome, and that I could be more intentional about creating a sense of community with the households around me with the ultimate hope that neighbours don't feel so isolated from one another, which one might achieve by just being neighbourly/friendly even if just a smile as you walk past someone. Anywho, I'm not saying this will solve all of the worlds problems, but I thought I'd just share my reflections here on the group anyway. Thanks neighbours 💜

If you have lots of bags to donate we may be able to come and pick them up.
If you have just a few we would love if you could drop them off at the Gribblehirst Hub, 5 Cabbage Tree Swamp Drive (go past the Rugby Club, simply drop off inside the chain in the left hand corner.
Pls mark them with a C if they have been subjected to contaminated water and we’ll sanitise/solarise the sand before using it.

15 April 2023, 12 noon - 9pm
Last year, the Whau Local Board won $300,000 from Waka Kotahi to deliver a series of car-free events in Avondale town centre.
The “Open Streets” project is a global initiative where streets are transformed into public zones for people to walk,
cycle, socialise and celebrate. The project opens public spaces to other forms of transport beyond motorised vehicles.
This demonstrates a commitment to creating a greater balance in transport options and the importance of community
in the development of Auckland’s transport infrastructure.
Four Open Streets events are floated for 2023 to be delivered through a co-design model with local event organisers.
The first of these events is on 15 April with the Whau Arts Festival (see over). Roads in Avondale town centre will be carfree for a few hours through temporary road closures, opening the street for people to walk, ride their bikes, scooter or
roller-skate.
Please let us know a.s.a.p. if you foresee any problems, so that they can be mitigated. Otherwise, we hope you will see
this investment in Avondale to be a wonderful opportunity to bring foot traffic to our streets.
The map below shows the temporary traffic management that will be in place for the duration of the event. For
questions about the road closure, please contact:

The dogs are left on a rope / chain, from puppy until adult through winter to summer, most of them are without shelter and starved 💔
Imagine eating, sleeping, defecting, urinating, and walking… in the same circle… for years.
