Hi Auckland,

Auckland has topped the global rankings of liveability, rising 11 places to take the top spot.

The survey, commissioned by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), gives mathematical weight to such a claim. New Zealand's world-leading response to the spread of Covid-19 has been cited as one of the leading factors in the significant jump in rankings.

The EIU's index rates the living conditions and comprises 30 factors grouped into five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Land needed to lease

Cyndy from Stanmore Bay

I'm looking for a little piece of land to lease in the Rodney area of Auckland where I can park my tiny home on wheels. The intent is for me to live there for a long time! Along with me comes a little happy Shitzu & a sleepy, bird friendly cat.

My brand new tiny home is 9 x 3 metres.

I'm looking for a little piece of land to lease in the Rodney area of Auckland where I can park my tiny home on wheels. The intent is for me to live there for a long time! Along with me comes a little happy Shitzu & a sleepy, bird friendly cat.

My brand new tiny home is 9 x 3 metres.

I'll pay up to $100 per week to park plus I'd need a power plug, a hose connection and sewage access.

I'm a senior lady who is quiet. I'm home most all of the time. I've learned to live frugally and having this home is a great example of that. Please...contact me ASAP as I truly need a spot very soon.
Thank you, Cyndy

Auckland Council seeking former residents of 9 Whangaparāoa properties

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Kia ora neighbours. CCO Eke Panuku is seeking the former owners of eight properties on Whangaparāoa Rd and one on Brightside Rd in Stanmore Bay.

Kia ora neighbours. CCO Eke Panuku is seeking the former owners of eight properties on Whangaparāoa Rd and one on Brightside Rd in Stanmore Bay.

The Rodney District Council purchased 23 properties under the Public Works Act between 1997 and 2000 so it could undertake a road widening project. However, the work never went ahead, so the council is obliged to re-offer the properties to the former owners before it can list them on the market.

Eke Panuku has managed to get in touch with some of the former owners, however it is asking the following people (or their successors) to get in touch by July 9: Rosemary Martha Meek, Mary Patricia Cavell, Kent Woodward La Rue & Janice Mary Barlow, Bernice Adelaide Evans, Noleen Alice Walker & Collin George Dyson & Allan Dyson, Lyall David Martin & Christine Martin, Norma Valerie Revell, Brendan Ronald Thickpenny, and Ronald Frederick Pilbrow & Verna Doreen Pilbrow.

If you were one of the people who the council acquired property from, I'd really like to hear from you too. Are you upset that the road works never went ahead after you were forced to give up your home? Please email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz

PSYCHIC and MEDIUMSHIP READINGS

Howard from Orewa

Hi Everyone !
Perhaps you are curious about mediumship but a little nervous about receiving a reading ? Relax. There is no need to be concerned. It's natural for us to be a little apprehensive about things we don't understand or know about.

Hi Everyone !
Perhaps you are curious about mediumship but a little nervous about receiving a reading ? Relax. There is no need to be concerned. It's natural for us to be a little apprehensive about things we don't understand or know about.
A psychic can predict coming events in your life, but a medium can do that as well as communicate with the spirits of people who have passed over. Psychics and mediums work only in what's called "Love and Light", and there isn't anything to be nervous about Think of it this way :- a loved one of yours who has passed would love to be able to say "hello" to you and let you know that they haven't gone for good, they are still around you, still caring about you, but have simply passed into another dimension. So why not just pop along and be part of our friendly audience ? Many people who have turned up at our meetings have been given hard evidence, sometimes names. There is a different medium at each meeting.
We are a non profit team of volunteers who simply provide a public sevice for those interested in spirituality. Our next fortnightly meeting is at 7:30pm on Wednesday the 16th of June at the Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa, and,

ALL ARE WELCOME !

There is an off road carpark, just look for the flashing Christmas lights. We finish around 9pm and supply free coffee, tea and chocolate biscuits afterwards. And for all this we ask only $5 to cover costs. ( we have to hire the hall )
People have received some amazing, enlightening and very comforting readings, as well as good advice. Once you've experienced one yourself it will change your outlook in a really nice way. Forever. So why wait ? Come along and join our happy band of followers who will be pleased to share with you how special spirituality is.
