Santa's back on Mt Ramarama!
When Santa got stuck on the mulch pile,
He began to frown,
You girls and boys won’t get any toys
If you don’t help me down.
I can’t see a frost,
My reindeer are lost,
My nose is tickling too.
We’ve crashed into a mulch pile,
Achoo Achoo Achoo!
Look out for Santa and his reindeer next time you're driving with the kids. You can see him from the Ramarama Roundabout :)
Trucks Parking in Residential Streets
How do people feel about truck and trailer units parking in our residential streets? Manuroa and Airfield Roads in Takanini are truck parks every night. This is a safety issue as trucks and buses cross onto the wrong side of the road to pass them. They also block sight lines for people leaving their properties and turning out of side streets. Parking beside reserves and playgrounds means children are stepping out from behind these vehicles to cross our busy streets. The empty flatbed trailer units are hard to see at night, especially in wet weather. There have been at least two accidents in Takanini, one fatal, involving cars hitting these trailers. The Takanini Residents Group have raised this with the Papakura Local Board and Auckland Council, but as these vehicles are legally parked, we are told there is nothing that can be done. I know this is a problem in other areas in South Auckland, so I would like to hear what people think about this issue.
