Albany walking and cycling bridge to be installed
The newest walking and cycling bridge on the North Shore will be lifted into place over the Northern Motorway at Spencer Road in Albany next week. The bridge will be installed by alliance crews over a series of nights from Monday 24 September, as part of the Northern Corridor Improvements project.
NZTA says that people will notice the bridge straight away but they still need to take extra care while it’s being installed. The Northern Motorway will be closed from 9pm until 5am between Greville Road and Oteha Valley Road for several weeknights. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, follow the detours and look out for reminders on overhead and electronic signs. The main work will take place on Monday 24, Wednesday 26 September and Monday 1 October.

Animal Abuser
🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
