Housing developments

Garth from Hillcrest

Just got back from evening walk along Milford walkway and was dismayed at a sign advertising 60 leasehold apartments on the beachfront at the end of Tiri Road. Equally bemused was a Tiri Road neighbour who was taking a photo of the signboard at the same time.

Equally bemused was a Tiri Road neighbour who was taking a photo of the signboard at the same time. On my (busy) Sunnybrae Road a single house has been thrown down to be replaced by 3,4,5 or 6 (not sure) dwellings. On the opposite (Northcote) end of Sunnybrae Road 80? apartments are being built. Is this how the housing shortage is going to be solved? I think it is ghastly.

The suspensions came as bus drivers stopped accepting passenger fares, in a bid for better pay work hours. On Thursday, First Union and Tramways withdrew industrial action after Auckland Council got involved with concerns of the suspension's impact on the city's public transport. However, union members and NZ Bus are yet to come to an agreement.

Missing Tonkinese Cat

Deborah from Birkenhead

Hi Neighbours, I am very worried about my cat Devon. He hasn't come home since Tuesday night (19th November). We have only been in the area for one month having moved to Birkenhead from St Heliers.

He hasn't come home since Tuesday night (19th November). We have only been in the area for one month having moved to Birkenhead from St Heliers. Devon is 15 and has quite a bit of arthritis so I can't imagine he would want to wander far. He can be a bit aloof with people but usually loves men! He loves to get into vans, utes etc and there is a bit of building work going on close by (we are in Catrina Ave) so am wondering if he got into someones work vehicle and went for a ride. Anyway, please let me know if you have seen him. Thanks so much.
