Dogs in Parks

Pamela from Bucklands Beach

A person with a dog has been seen letting his dog run off the lead in Mooneys North Bridge Reserve. There are Ducks and Ducklings there. Dogs kill Ducklings.

I don't mind but in some parks they do need to be put on a lead.

A person with a dog has been seen letting his dog run off the lead in Mooneys North Bridge Reserve. There are Ducks and Ducklings there. Dogs kill Ducklings.

We have been visited by a Duck and originally 11 Ducklings, and since their birth only 4 Ducklings remain. I am sure it is not just the Pukakos and the rats...

Then off course I am not sure I saw a notice or not regarding please put dogs on a lead in this area. While it may seem fine by Pakuranga School, it is not OK anywhere near the creek.

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Domino’s is under fire after adding a tipping feature to its online ordering system, with critics saying the pizza chain should “pay staff properly” instead of relying on customer generosity.

But Domino's says the system helps keep its workers safe and there is no obligation to tip.

The new feature gives customers the option to pay a fixed amount or choose their own tip for their “delivery expert” before completing payment.

The move has been met with outrage on social media where some have said Domino’s should “pay staff properly instead”.

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Three white flags will fly from the very top of the Sky Tower this week, to raise awareness about mental health in the construction industry.

SkyCity spokesperson Arron Money said the construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide in the commercial sector in New Zealand.

“Flying the flags from the top of the Sky Tower is our way of acknowledging the problem and empowering the industry to do something about it. The flags are a visual reminder for workers to stop and have the courage to ask a mate if they are alright,” he said.

Fly the Flag is a campaign created by Mates in Construction - an organisation established to combat the high rate of suicide among construction workers in New Zealand.

As a mark of respect for the families who have lost loved ones to suicide, the Sky Tower will also be lit as large ribbon with colours of orange and gold on September 10 to support World Suicide Prevention Day.
