car being towed and ticketed from park and rides

Martin from Stanmore Bay

I was walking through albany park and ride and have witnessed a new low from Auckland council . I watched as the tow trucks roam the parking lot like vultures waiting for their next victim while the parking wardens ticket cars that havnt been parked quite right spot and having them towed. How about Auckland transport and Auckland council use that energy to actually help and solve the parking problem anstead of fighting everyone and making it difficult to use public transport. Its out of control. They don't want people to park along the road next to paddocks and started charging 1 dollar an hour which on a full working day equates to about $50 per week plus the bus ticket. Earlier this year you also put up the price to use the bus. Does Auckland d council actually want people to use public transport. I really have my doubts they do. Instead of fighting how about male it easy. Lower public transport prices. You will still make money as more people use it. Build multistory parking so people can. Use the bus without having the extra stress of some silly fine for trying to do the right things. Right across the road from albamy station. Is a great big empty paddock build a multistory there. Do the right thing for a change, get you head out of the sand and actually make using public transport easier for people instead of fighting your taxpayers who are trying to do the right thing.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
