new years eve again

Joanne from Pakuranga Heights

is everyone aware that our beloved council have an amnesty on noise
and parties tonight from 6pm till 2am again
after the last 2 years of no sleep on new years eve from parties that
are extremely noisy 1 last year was 2 streets away
I have no recourse with a council who are supposed to be there for
everyone not just a minority
luckily this year I don't have to work tomorrow, after no sleep as the
nosie never stopped till 6am
I feel really sad for anyone sick elderly. or with small babies having
to tolerate this from a few who are given free reighn to do what they
like and disturb others.
last year rang at 2am phone lines were already clogged and no officer came till 4 am the first time, so they are busy and are ignoring a large
part of the population
please voice your concerns to your local councillor like I did last year
rang the list of councillors at 4am, they make the rules they got
diturbed

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
