Geraniums (peppermint)

Janice from Mount Roskill

FREE. Peppermint geranium cuttings on the verge outside 92 O'Donnell Avenue Mt Roskill. Lovely ground cover that smells of peppermint when you rub the leaves. See naturalmedicinalherbs.co for uses. Come and take as much or as little as you want. Very very easy to grow and will spread easily.

Land is not a commodity, it is vital if we and animals are to exist...your thoughts? Read the below.
A farmer in Maruia, on the South Island's West Coast, is threatening to burn 80ha of native bush on his property and turn it into pasture in a bid to raise its value and save his farm.
The land is likely to be classed as a significant natural area (SNA) under new biodiversity rules in regional and district plans.
Aaran Bruce and his wife live on a 220ha block their family has owned since the 1940s on West Bank Rd, about 15km from Springs Junction.
The couple is under pressure from their bank to sell the farm after running into financial strife and sold their dairy herd last year.

Mangar Bathing Cushion

If you know anyone who loves to have a bath but because of age, injury or disability, can not get in and out of the bath without assistance, this is the answer. This inflatable, very strong cushion enables someone to sit on the cushion when inflated to the top of the bath and swing their legs over into the water. They then deflate it so they can lie in the bath. When they are ready to get out, the cushion is inflated again and when it reaches the top of the bath the user can get out easily by swinging their legs over the side of the bath. This can all be done by one person with the use of the automatic, small compressor, the size of a handbag. Perfect for anyone after an operation when their legs are affected. It was purchased from Active Healthcare NZ last year and is still under guarantee. Made in USA. Visit the Google site and you will see videos and reviews. It cost $1500 and I would like $200 for it. I am moving to an apartment which does not have a bath.

Price: $200

Why is the ratepayer paying for housing intensification with a proposed 5% rates increase?

Jay from New Lynn

We have 260 units going in at Nola’s Orchard, Glen Eden with no parking, no laundry facilities, nowhere for kids to play and zero chance for public input due to fast track legislation. We have a huge development of multi storey blocks going in on Croydon Road, New Lynn where there used to be 2 … View moreWe have 260 units going in at Nola’s Orchard, Glen Eden with no parking, no laundry facilities, nowhere for kids to play and zero chance for public input due to fast track legislation. We have a huge development of multi storey blocks going in on Croydon Road, New Lynn where there used to be 2 houses; plus yet another house being replaced by 8 units in my neighbourhood with a lot more intensification to come. Developer contributions go nowhere near paying for all the new infrastructure needed. Ratepayers are forced to pay for the rest while developers and investors make huge profits. Auckland Council is broke, in huge debt and taking on a lot more. This totally unsustainable, suburb destroying intensification with its huge loss of urban tree cover needs to become an election issue.
