Houses next to the railway tracks... noisy or convenient?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?

If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!

Middlemore Hospital's emergency department flooded with patients

People are being urged to seek the right medical care as patients flock to Middlemore Hospital's emergency department, nearly filling it to capacity.

A Counties Manukau Health Spokesperson said the level of presentations are not normal for this time of year.

"We are unsure as to the reasons for the increase however it is placing higher than usual demand on the emergency department," the spokesperson said.

“ We encourage the community to seek the right care for their condition and enable the emergency department to focus its resources on patients who have life-threatening emergencies.
"

Accident and Medical clinics deliver support for patients who feel unwell outside of regular GP hours or on weekends and public holidays, the spokesperson said.

The clinics give free or low-cost care to children aged under 14 years, adults over 65 and community service card or high user health card holders.

The clinical director of Middlemore Hospital’s Emergency Department, Dr Vanessa Thornton, said most times a GP can provide medical advice and prescriptions and help to manage long-term conditions.

If people don’t have a family doctor they can
find one on Healthpoint, an online directory for GPs and medical clinics.

“In taking these steps people will be supporting our ED staff by enabling them to
focus their time and resources on patients who have life-threatening emergencies.”

Health advice is available 24 hours a day by calling Healthline on 0800 611 116.

Mr Wayne Anderson returns to East FM

Phil from East Tamaki Heights

The Thin White Duke, Rod the Mod, Rocket Man and The Piano Man aren’t exactly music legends you’d usually associate with the Singer of Songs, but that’s who’ll be in the spotlight when Mr Wayne Anderson takes the mic for his quarterly special guest DJ appearance on East FM tomorrow … View moreThe Thin White Duke, Rod the Mod, Rocket Man and The Piano Man aren’t exactly music legends you’d usually associate with the Singer of Songs, but that’s who’ll be in the spotlight when Mr Wayne Anderson takes the mic for his quarterly special guest DJ appearance on East FM tomorrow Saturday.
The great southern (suburbs) man is focusing on four of rock n’ roll’s finest, David Bowie, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Elton John, and Billy Joel, on The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, on East FM, 3-7pm (NZ time).
It’ll be interesting to hear what tracks Wayne chooses from those guys’ vast repertoires, and it could just be the selections you’ll be needing to hear warming up for Sunday’s massively colourful and entertaining Howick Santa Parade.

The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on NZ app Radio Schmadio.

If we’re not playing it this Saturday we’re playing it next. Keep it real, people. - PJ
