Pōhutukawa tree vandalised with saw at Waiake Beach Reserve
A large pōhutukawa has had one of its branches chopped off by “vandals” two days after Auckland Council asked for feedback on the tree's future.
Auckland Council and the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board started consultation on a branch of a large pōhutukawa tree at the Waiake Beach Reserve in Beach Rd on Monday.
The branch in question hangs low over a boardwalk which leads under Beach Rd, leaving 1.4 metres for people to walk under.
By Wednesday, vandals had taken matters into their own hands and lobbed off the branch with a saw, leaving the remains in the estuary below. However, the remainder of the branch still impedes the boardwalk.
“The illegal incident is incredibly disappointing and is being investigated by the council,” head of area operations and community facilities Julie Pickering said.
Anyone with information on the vandalism should contact Auckland Council on 09 301 01 01.

Yes I am all of the above, please can anyone suggest recommend someplace I can go ( but not the glue factory yet) for some way of easing up years of building work so I can move more easily, think stretching exercise type stuff.
I live in Mairangi Bay, more than happy to do one to one ☝️ just need to sort it. Ideally not too far away.
Thank you
