Save the Auckland Showgrounds
The fate of the Auckland Showgrounds, unfortunately, exposes a dark side to the Trustees of Cornwall Park. Some commentators have supported the Trustee's decision to get revenue for the Park in any way that continues the legacy of Sir John Logan Campbell albeit at the very expense of the people the legacy was to have benefited. Few of these commentators would be aware of the extreme Trust Board negotiation tactics, forcing the Auckland A&P Association to high-cost mediation through a Pandemic. The fact that the Auckland A&P Association were also forced into liquidation forfeiting $40 million in assets to the Trust Board is a travesty that exposes a news story that is just the tip of an iceberg! Around 100 families who are local Cornwall Park leaseholders have been fighting unsuccessfully for the right to get fair compensation for their property improvements if they are unable to pay new lease costs expected to be up to $3,000 a week. There seems to be a theme to this odious and callous behavior that needs full public disclosure into the Trust Board or we will all lose a fabulous asset of the people.

Age Well Kiwi
We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.
With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
