Sick of all this rubbish!!

Faye and Julian from North New Brighton

I am absolutely sick of the low lives that keep dumping their rubbish all over the Bexley Red Zone area where I like to walk my dog.
There have been 3 lots dumped just in the last 2 weeks (photos attached).
The shed boxes had a name and address of a lady from Aranui on them (that is not at all to say it was her that dumped them) but hopefully she may know who took receipt of her rubbish.
I’ve have informed the council each time and thankfully they have been and cleared the first 2 lots dumped and are investigating.
This should not be happening!! It blows all over the place, into the river, up to the road and could pose as a hazzard to drivers and wildlife and costs us (the rate and tax payers) money to clear!!
It’s just lazy and disgusting when the tip is not far up the road.
Please keep vigilant everyone and report if you find!!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

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!

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
