Bad dental experience at Lumino Wairau park
I booked with Lumino wairau for filling my tooth. Originally i booked online for a suitable timeslot, but forgot to change the service from the default "hygiene and xray etc" to "dentist", so I called back straight away to update my booking. All sorted by the receiption as per phone call.
Anyway, I went there this morning and told the dentist again that one of the front teeth needs filling as it came off 2 weeks ago. She acknowledged but went on taking photo and xrays. Then she came up with a piece of paper as attached, telling me that she cant do the filling today, she needs a plan to do my whole teeth which will cost me $1204 or $1804 if i chose not to be on their plan. And Im charged $141 today for unwated service and her plan. Left the practice with the plan in my hand, $141 receipt and untreated tooth. Very disappointed at their unprofessional behavior. Im sharing my experience so hopefully no one else will be tricked liked me.

Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Birkenhead War Memorial Park tracks now open!
Thankyou to everyone who came to celebrate the official opening of the new loop track through Birkenhead War Memorial Park!
The track has been upgraded to a standard to help prevent kauri dieback disease, including new bridges and boardwalks with fantastic views of the trees. The loop forms a step-free recreational track connecting into the shared concrete path that was built last year. The Mahara Ave entrance is just past the pump track and the Recreation Drive entrance is from behind Playcentre.
Thankyou to all of the council staff and contractors involved in the project, including reNature and Milton Harwood Construction. Thankyou also to Matua Shannon Leilua for the opening blessing and to Kaipatiki Community Facilities Trust for the opening event. The project was funded by the Natural Environment Targeted Rate and the Kaipātiki Local Board.
NEXT: The Kauri Glen Reserve tree-top bridge and track will be officially opened at 12pm Sunday 28 April.
