Hi, I have one massive single solid Oak Door, that I was going to use for a renovation project but in the end I did not use it. I do have some Art Deco style architraves that will come with the door. I am unsure if I have all the architraves.

The Rodney Local Board's transport targeted rate will move to the next stage of investigation.
The rate would cost ratepayers between $114-200 per annum and replace the council's transport levy – which would expire in June 2018.
What do you think? Do you agree with paying a targeted rate?

Housing First is a joint initiative of NGOs, Council and central government. It works on the principle that we can't solve the problems of people while they are on the streets.
We need first to provide them with stable, permanent healthy homes and then build wrap around social services to deal with the problems which caused them to be homeless. That means tackling problems like mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction and relationship breakdowns.
As elsewhere, this approach is working in Auckland with most people staying in the homes we have helped them into.
At a wider level we are working through the Mayoral Housing Task Force recommendations to try to build housing at a rate that matches demand. That will help contain house price inflation which creates affordability and homelessness.
