Beautiful pure black male cat

Kimberley from Glen Eden

We would like to find a home for this wee fella. The vet reckons he's about 2 years old. He turned up at our place a few months ago and we've been feeding him so he's in pretty good shape. He's initially shy but warms up pretty fast. Tried to get him to the SPCA but was told … View moreWe would like to find a home for this wee fella. The vet reckons he's about 2 years old. He turned up at our place a few months ago and we've been feeding him so he's in pretty good shape. He's initially shy but warms up pretty fast. Tried to get him to the SPCA but was told that he would most likely get euthanized as they're overloaded with kittens. Sometime before he turned up at ours, he was neutered by the SPCA and then returned to our area (has the tell-tale snipped ear). We would dearly love to keep him but already adopted two strays in the past year.

Why is the ratepayer paying for housing intensification with a proposed 5% rates increase?

Jay from New Lynn

We have 260 units going in at Nola’s Orchard, Glen Eden with no parking, no laundry facilities, nowhere for kids to play and zero chance for public input due to fast track legislation. We have a huge development of multi storey blocks going in on Croydon Road, New Lynn where there used to be 2 … View moreWe have 260 units going in at Nola’s Orchard, Glen Eden with no parking, no laundry facilities, nowhere for kids to play and zero chance for public input due to fast track legislation. We have a huge development of multi storey blocks going in on Croydon Road, New Lynn where there used to be 2 houses; plus yet another house being replaced by 8 units in my neighbourhood with a lot more intensification to come. Developer contributions go nowhere near paying for all the new infrastructure needed. Ratepayers are forced to pay for the rest while developers and investors make huge profits. Auckland Council is broke, in huge debt and taking on a lot more. This totally unsustainable, suburb destroying intensification with its huge loss of urban tree cover needs to become an election issue.
