Aiken Reserve Waiake
Do you know where Aiken Reserve is? Don't feel uninformed if you don't because this well used reserve adjacent to Deep Creek that runs between Deep Creek Rd and Beach Rd. is not signed. Even Google Maps don't know the name of the reserve. We have mooted to the Auckland Council for a couple of years to erect signs at both ends of the park so people know what it is called. No action taken. The name also has historical significance being named after one of the early landowners in the area. Also we have asked the council that solar lighting be erected on the pathway as it can be dark and unsafe at times. People are using the park in their early morning walks and after being dropped of from the bus that services Beach Rd. We envision lighting that will not only light up the pathway but the trees along the path which can be quite attractive. To get the council to take action needs a lot of voices telling them that this is what us as ratepayers want. Please take time and ring them on their hotline 301 01 01.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
