✅ I SUPPORT Speedway STAYING at Western Springs.
A few months ago, there was consultation on the future of the Western Springs Stadium, however none of the options guaranteed speedway staying. But before a decision could be made, one of the options - the "Auckland Arena" proposal - was withdrawn, leaving the consultation results in disarray.
So now the future of the stadium will be decided after the election by the incoming council. If this is an issue that you are concerned about, it is important to ensure that your councillors support continuing the rich history of speedway at Western Springs.

Stats NZ tells us that food prices have jumped 4.6% since this time last year, with meat and dairy doing most of the damage. This jump is hitting us all, but groceries are just one part of the picture.
When basic costs keep climbing, the old cost-saving tricks — like bulk-buying or stockpiling on sale — don’t always work. Who can afford to spend more upfront when every dollar already has a job?
We want to know: What costs have caught you off guard the most? What are the expenses that feel impossible to juggle right now?
