With all that's going on at the moment we still have local politics.,

I think our local board should save the council the $72 Million they want to spend on bike tracks in the Westmere area. Yesterday Gen Sage, chairperson and 3rd ranked C&R caucus member again whipped with City Vision and voted yes to bike tracks in the full knowledge that the budget committees at council will cull them. Not a very astute political move by Gen Sage to cross the floor for nothing. We still have two years of this nonsense.

Auckland Emergency Services are asking people to stay away from West Coast beach communities which are trying to recover from last week’s storm.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place

“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.

If you are wanting to check swimming conditions in other areas of Auckland, check the SwimSafe site.
