WHAT MAKES CRIMSAFE SCREENS SO STRONG?

It’s unparalleled combination of a thicker mesh and a screw-clamp system that is proven to be significantly stronger and harder to break into. This unique system allows security screens to withstand tremendous force by absorbing and dispersing impact around the frame, making the screen highly resistant to attack.

Under the positive influence of a close friend who is into Gift Economies and in a bid to share what I do with as many people as possible regardless of resources, I would like to offer those on Neighbourly your first session for KOHA. This means you comes and try out a session with me, and pay what you are willing and able to, whilst also holding in mind my needs. (For clarity, my needs involve paying for myself and my two children to live in Auckland)

This is something new I am trying, in a bid towards finding a more sustainable way to SHARE my skills JOYFULLY, and be supported.

If you would like to learn more about what I do, check the website or some of my attached videos.

The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.

Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.

Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.

The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.

Fourteen Auckland mountains have been closed to the public to ward off blazes fuelled by fireworks.

The maunga (mountains) administered by the Tupuna Maunga Authority are closed to the public this week from 7.30 pm until November 8.

The decision to ban evening access follows fires at Mt Wellington and Mt Eden on Guy Fawkes night last year.

Fireworks sparked a blaze which tore through the crater of Mangere Mountain in December last year and another fire on Mt Wellington in April.

Last month another blaze caused by a group of youths playing with fireworks ripped through the lower slopes of Mt Wellington.

The following mountains will be closed: Wiri, One Tree Hill, Mount Wellington, Mount Eden, North Head, Mount Albert, Mount Hobson, Pigeon Mountain, Mount Richmond, Mount Roskill, Mount St John, Mount Victoria, Mangere Mountain, Big King.

Do you agree with the closures?

Are you planning to celebrate Guy Fawkes tomorrow night?
