The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

CDANZ estimates that around 250,000 dogs are chained up for their entire lives in Aotearoa. Animal welfare inspectors from the SPCA can do little for them and only in the most extreme cases can dogs be seized, and owners prosecuted, due to the resources involved.

They were there to plant violas in the garden bed, It used to be done safely by 2 girls from the council with one ute and if it wasn't so money wasting it would have been comical, Mayor Vince Cocurullo you need to tell your CEO to pull his head in. 2 girls and 1 ute used to do this job. The ute from Auckland City Council was here to direct traffic. Pull the soil out and fill with concrete and save the ratepayers some money please. Not a happy ratepayer. City safe you are a joke.
