Fire alarm sounding from 6 pm to 11 pm on Wednesday 13 November 2019
Dear Flat Bush community, on behalf of the Tyndale Park Christian School Trust I want to express our deep regret that you have had to listen to the fire alarm from 6 pm to 11 pm last night.
Unfortunately, vandals came on site just after the last teacher locked up the school and smashed the fire alarm switch next to Room 10 in order to locate the sirens and steal them (an unfortunately common occurrence at a lot of schools). For some reason, the fire alarm system was not communicating with our monitoring company, causing them to be blissfully unaware of the alarm going off, preventing us from resetting the alarm.
The monitoring mistake has now been corrected. However, if the fire alarm sounds for more than 10 minutes in the future, please feel free to call our monitoring company at 09 292 8222.
Kind regards.
Mā te Atua e manaaki.

Trucks Parking in Residential Streets
How do people feel about truck and trailer units parking in our residential streets? Manuroa and Airfield Roads in Takanini are truck parks every night. This is a safety issue as trucks and buses cross onto the wrong side of the road to pass them. They also block sight lines for people leaving their properties and turning out of side streets. Parking beside reserves and playgrounds means children are stepping out from behind these vehicles to cross our busy streets. The empty flatbed trailer units are hard to see at night, especially in wet weather. There have been at least two accidents in Takanini, one fatal, involving cars hitting these trailers. The Takanini Residents Group have raised this with the Papakura Local Board and Auckland Council, but as these vehicles are legally parked, we are told there is nothing that can be done. I know this is a problem in other areas in South Auckland, so I would like to hear what people think about this issue.
