What local spot would you like to see cleaned up?
A miniature shanty town-cum-refuse tip that was once the site of a beloved Irish bar and a neighbouring strip club is finally getting cleared of rubbish.
The property at 728 - 750 Victoria St was turned into an unofficial dumping ground after fire destroyed the former Calendar Girls building in May 2018. The neighbouring vacant building that was formerly home to Biddy Mulligan’s Irish pub was razed in a similar incident in early January 2019.

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
