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.

The Block NZ is back on our screens on Monday, but let's hope there are no more silly decor challenges and over-the-top reserves.

It remains a supported HP Product, offering it free to a home that could use it, maybe for a student or home schooler to print out documentation/workbooks, or a small business needing to produce paperwork?
Purchased as a business machine and no longer needed.

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.

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
Kia ora Neighbours, An auction of royal tour press photos taken by Stuff's predecessor companies is a curious new episode in the strange tale of millions of Australasian press photos. Read the story below:
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.

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
