Garden Maintenance
Well neighbours you may have seen my earlier message asking for recommendations for someone to trim, and cull my trees, and that I asked to please not recommend ‘My Garden Guy’ as they took more than four days to get back to me and that was after one follow up from me.. I’m still waiting for them to call me- after I gave them my mobile number twice.
Thank you for the recommendations, I tried Jay Morrison and WOW!
I can highly recommend Jay- he was not only prompt in responding, after talking with him for 10 minutes - I felt really confident that he not only knew what he was talking about, he cared about what he did
Well neighbours, I wasn’t wrong, - over one weekend he has restored my garden to its former glory, was really pleasant and polite- checking in to ensure he understood what I was wanting with certain trees, etc. cleaned up all the waste- there was more than a large trailer full!
Everything looks fabulous, and the weight lifted from my shoulders - thank you Jay
Jays mobile number is:
021 158 2577
150% recommended by me
Have a lovely day everyone

Car parking city
THE DOWNTOWN CARPARK = GONE ❌
The Council now wants to sell the Downtown Carpark, to be torn down – along with its 1,500 parking spaces. Most will know, this is one of the few public parking options that services the downtown central business district and the only option for those who use the ferry to get to Waiheke.
They say the carpark presents a seismic "risk" – not now, but it could do in the future. But here's the thing, we understand the carpark could be seismically strengthened for a nominal cost, while developing above the carpark could return an additional $300m to Council *cough* ratepayers.
CUSTOMS STEET ACCESS = GONE ❌
The Council also wants to improve air quality and ultimately pedestrianise the CBD, so they are going to stop car access to Customs Street.
Neighbouring streets will become more congested as people will have to travel the around-about way to get across town. You see where this is going...
HOBSON STREET FLYOVER = GONE ❌
Council has also decided to demolish the Hobson Street flyover! This will make it even harder to travel east to west across the city!
You have to ask why, at a time of extreme rate hikes, and when households are cutting back, do we need another ideological reimagining of our CBD?
24/7 PARKING CHARGES = MONEY GRAB 🤬
Following a telling off from the Mayor, Auckland Transport delayed its 24/7 CBD parking charges to allow for (what is a completely insincere) consultation before a full roll-out in October.
