Auckland Council has moved to reassure consumers about the situation it calls "unprecedented". They say restaurants are caught in a verification backlog created by the introduction of the Food Act 2014. A look at the Auckland Council's online listings for food businesses in Ponsonby - one of the city's premiere dining districts - revealed a little less than one-third would be operating under an expired or "grade pending" status today. High-profile restaurants and bars including Bedford Soda & Liquor, Revelry, Longroom and Saan are among those apparently caught in the verification backlog. There are 10,000 registered food premises across Auckland, including 619 that are new since June last year.

Davis said staff were given until July 8 to return feedback about the proposal and a decision would be made on July 15. A spokesperson for The Warehouse confirmed a proposal had been shared with their team and that staff would be given till July 8 to submit feedback. "We shared a proposal with our team yesterday which we developed with input from a working group of store managers. It's a proposal only and we are seeking feedback from our teams before deciding on next steps, so it's not appropriate to comment further at this point. Davis said this was an inadequate amount of time to respond. Davis believed the decision was about "cost cutting" and it was not The Warehouse we used to know. "I think this is a far cry from The Warehouse we used to know, that Stephen Tindall built, which was like a coverted community based organisation that gave back to the workers. Of the people proposed to be losing their jobs, Davis says they are the ones that have been the face of The Warehouse for the last 20 years.

How will the new 10-year transport plan affect you?

Hey Auckland,

What do you think about the Government's new 10-year transport plan? Although the rest of the country is set to benefit from transport investment, it's a double-whammy for Aucklanders. Locals will now have to face petrol price hikes as well as the newly approved regional fuel tax.

How will this affect you and your family? Are you for or against the new plan? Will the petrol price hikes force you to use more public transport? Let us know in the replies!
