Anyone living in Stephen Ave and Woodford Ave? - Update
Hi everyone, Matt here. I just want to know if anyone who lives down these two streets want to take any photos of these apartments that the builders have made? I could myself but I do a paper run down these streets, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Reason I am asking this is so that people can realise how small and "pokey", well I think they are, these apartment buildings are. If anyone lives in Stephen Ave, you can just look at the colours that these apartment buildings are, they are purple, light grey, light green.
I am going to feel sorry to whoever is going to go to sleep at night next to the newly petrol station on Lincoln Road that the construction people are currently making.
It's not the actual construction people whose at fault. They are just told what to build and how to do it. It could be the boss himself or higher management who have told them what to build.
Anyways, I will leave you with that for now and will probably do some more posts soon.
PS, Kirsteen Fitzpatrick has given the image of Stephen Ave and Woodford Ave to give you an idea of what they look like.
The first two are of Stephen Ave and the other two are of Woodford Ave. What do others think? Would you like to live in a small "pokey" apartment type buildings.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
