WARNING: Dodgy-looking people lurking between parked cars at Alderman Drive Pak N Save, knocking on windows, asking for money.

Sharon from Te Atatu South

Today, a dodgy-looking male came out at me from between other parked cars around me, and said, "Scuse me, miss," and I said, "No." and carried on walking fast to the shop entrance, as I felt scared. AND YES, I told Pak N Save staff, and they told security.

AND YES, I told Pak N Save staff, and they told security. The beggars keep on coming back, they told me. They've been doing this begging for a while now. Twice before, a woman (not scary-looking, but still dodgy) has done the same thing as the man today, with a clever backstory ("My son needs a cake for his birthday"), and the first time I fell for it, gave her $2, but the next day she was back doing the same thing, so when she asked me next time, I told her NO, this is NOT A BEGGING PLACE, and carried on walking. And then today, this man did what I described above. My customer said "Funny that," and said that he'd seen a Polynesian man with a small backpack going from car to car knocking on car windows, asking for cash to get home. I think they lurk between the cars so that they can avoid detection by security staff like they would not if they just sat outside the shop entrance. They USED to sit outside the shop entrance but don't so much anymore. Instead, they hang about between cars so that they can come up to you when you get out of the car, and it can be frightening if you've nowhere to go because you're trapped between two parked cars. If this happens to you, PLEASE TELL PAK N SAVE STAFF TO TELL SECURITY, and then they will get onto it. If ENOUGH of us do this, it may drive the beggars away. As it is, they are getting away with FAR too much, and I am thinking of going to Lincoln Road Pak N Save to avoid the beggars. =P Thanks for reading this. I just thought I would warn you all. Thanks. =D

ANNOYED! Cars Parked on Half the Road And Half on Footpaths

Matt from Henderson

To Neighbourly. When I do my deliveries either my paper run or my circulars run around in West Auckland, I find the odd car or cars at times, half parked on footpaths and on the side of the road?

When I do my deliveries either my paper run or my circulars run around in West Auckland, I find the odd car or cars at times, half parked on footpaths and on the side of the road? I don't know if this is a legal or illegal thing to do in this country. Here is a pic from the UK, just to give you an example. I am not just doing this post for myself as such but for also people who do Courier deliveries around West Auckland also. What do others think? Are we as NZer's allowed to do this as part of everyday parking? Is there no such thing as parking on the road now in this day of age? Or is this just lazy parking?

I thought that I would share this one with you all here.
It really is a great idea.
We've all been measured as a child against the door frame, and we've measured our children but ... I wish I had known this little gem.
Measure them and write next to the measurement what they want to be when they grow up.

Calls to regulate fast food in ‘Heart Attack Alley’

Hi Neighbours,

West Auckland's Lincoln Road is not only home to more than 34 fast food restaurants, it's also within walking distance of seven local schools.

Without doubt, this is a food environment that needs to change and Minister of Health, Dr David Clark, clearly agrees.

He is keen for more regulation of fast food advertising and has been talking to the Food Industry Task Force about what changes can be made.

But Henderson Intermediate deputy principal Debbie Wylde says it's hard to compete with the fast-food options when trying to encourage students to make the healthier choice with their money.
