Here is the reason why:
"The Trusts announce the temporary closure of West Liquor Railside, 126 Railside Avenue, Henderson.
The Trusts on behalf of Waitakere Licensing Trust today announced the temporary closure of their liquor store at 126 Railside Avenue, Henderson.
After a recent heavy rain event an inspection report was ordered and has identified potential health and safety risks in the building. Allan Pollard, CEO of The Trusts, says although the risks are low level the safety of staff and customers has been paramount.
“We apologise for inconveniencing our customers however while we investigate the issues further, we need to put health and safety first,” Mr Pollard said.
“We will take expert advice to investigate further and look at ways to mitigate the issues and open again as soon as possible,” said Mr Pollard.
All employees will be redeployed to other stores."
In my humble opinion, this wouldn't happen if we could buy alcohol from other places out West instead of the Trusts outlets - but, hey, that's just my humble opinion.

I will ensure more funding is allocated to local safety initiatives.
I am campaigning to protect our green spaces, including planting more trees, cleaning up shared spaces and stopping the sell-off of our parks.
We urgently need to prepare for more people in our area which means upgrading Waitakere Hospital and building new community facilities like a swimming pool complex in Massey. My career is in management and finance and my passion is serving the community.
I have been involved with local organisations for over 25 years including being the current President of Waitakere Indian Association, panel member for Te Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund for Sport Waitakere, the Community Organisation Grants Scheme, Community Patrol and Neighbourhood Support Waitakere and as a community board member on various other organisations.
I want Henderson Massey to thrive.

Saturday is International Observe the Moon Night and to mark the occasion, a historic telescope used during some of the first human missions to the moon will be open to the public at Auckland's Stardome Observatory and Planetarium (670 Manukau Road, Epsom).
The EWB Zeiss telescope was used to manually track Apollo missions when Houston didn't have radio contact with its spacecraft and astronauts.
The public are invited to use the telescope to view the moon on Saturday until 10.30pm at the stardome at 670 Manukau Road, Epsom.
“It will be five days after the new moon, so looking up from the Southern Hemisphere, we will easily be able locate the various maria, or seas, on the eastern half of the near-side of the moon. These are the Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Crises, Sea of Fecundity, and Sea of Nectar,” Stardome telescope operator Daley Panthagani said.
Entry costs $2 per adult and $1 per child. The Stardome will also be putting on educational shows about the moon for additional fees. For more info visit www.stardome.org.nz...

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.
These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.
As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

Based on the low voter turnouts most people don’t care much about local government elections but these elections have more to do with people’s everyday lives than central government elections. They cover our footpaths, local roads and parks which you interact with more on a daily basis.
I can understand peoples lack of interest. It is time consuming to find out information on candidates and some people find the complexity of all the roles and votes too much. It’s not like central government where information is in the news daily. Due to these difficulties, most voters resort to voting based on the political “colours’ they know, old names they recognize or not voting at all.
Hopefully people take the time to find out about the candidates, where they live, how long they have lived there and what they actually stand for.
Good sites to check out about candidates are their Facebook pages or:
www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Or
policy.nz...
This website covers understanding how council works :
www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Voting is open until Saturday October 8th midday. Free postal votes need to be sent by next Monday October 3rd or you can drop them off at dropped off at libraries, some train stations, Countdown supermarkets or council service centres. If you haven’t received your voting papers you can call 0800 367656.
