Parking restrictions at Woolworths in Browns Bay

Martin from Browns Bay

Evidently there is a pushback re the draconian parking restrictions at supermarkets in Browns Bay. Today Woolworths have blamed the Browns Bay Sunday market for causing some of the problem. Oh - the market is only open 6am-12pm on Sundays. As a seller I buy food with my takings after the market. How pathetic can they get?Ps check the AT website to disallow your rego # to be used to implement any fines by private companies patrolling private carparks.

Poll: If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into a pest-free island?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kiwis have always had a soft spot for our animal friends. With so many unique and quirky birds and marine species calling Aotearoa home, it’s only natural that we feel a deep drive to protect them 🐧🦭

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.

If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into the project?
And maybe the bigger question — should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?
