Ailing poplar trees felled: Mt Roskill

A poplar on Mt Roskill's Somerset Rd is destined for the axe.

The tree is set to be removed this week due to deteriorating health.

A poplar on Mt Roskill's Somerset Rd is destined for the axe.

The tree is set to be removed this week due to deteriorating health.

Another poplar in the street was axed in April to remove the health and safety risk to pedestrians and students from a school nearby.

Puketapapa Local Board chair Julie Fairey said the board was active in supporting planting in the district and knew how much the community valued trees.

“Unfortunately, the state of these two trees on Somerset Rd means we have to remove them sooner than we had hoped.

"The removal will ensure the poplars are looked after as they come to the end of their natural lives and appropriate trees can grow in their space in the future for everyone in the community to enjoy and benefit from.”

Has anyone seen my handsome boy? He has been missing since 06/05/21 around 8pm. I search and call for him but nothing. He does sometimes go walk about, but loves his food so normally back by morning.

He is very friendly and will go up to just about anyone.

Has anyone seen my handsome boy? He has been missing since 06/05/21 around 8pm. I search and call for him but nothing. He does sometimes go walk about, but loves his food so normally back by morning.

He is very friendly and will go up to just about anyone.

He is recovering from a surgery from about a month ago so his hair is still growing back on his left side.

Please see photos attached. He is microchip so do hope if someone found him they would return him to a vet.

My number is 0220 475 512 if you have seen him. We live in Ellerslie around Great South Road

Thanks

How to recycle broken glass

The Team from Auckland Council

Learn what to do when recycling broken glass. Large chunks are ok, as long as they are from grocery packaging. Always remember when recycling if in doubt, leave it out.

Passenger numbers on a bus between Auckland city and the airport are still down 80 per cent compared to before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sky Bus was forced to suspend its Auckland City Express and North Harbour Express services in March 2020 following the Government-imposed border restrictions and first Covid-19 lockdown.

The Sky Bus Auckland City Express, which departs downtown Auckland and travels to the airport via the northwestern motorway, resumed in July with a limited timetable.

However, current patronage for the 40-minute service is down 80 per cent compared to before the Covid-19 pandemic, Kinetic head of New Zealand operations Calum Haslop, who manages Sky Bus, said.

Meanwhile, the Sky Bus North Harbour Express service, which was north Aucklanders’ only direct link to the airport, is yet to resume.
