Hi Neighbours,

I have just removed around 20 agave plants and have left them on the berm outside of 42 Maryland St in Pt Chev. There are free to a good home, whether you would like one or all of them.

There are plants of all sizes, from new shoots to 1m in diameter. Just turn up, put them in your car and plant them in your garden. They will grown into fine specimens without doing much more than add water.

No need to contact me and they will be there until the weekend. First in best dressed!

Enjoy,

Leon

The Government is granting an extension to learner and restricted car or motorbike licences that are expiring soon.

Brian from New Lynn

The extension will apply to holders of licences expiring between December 1, 2019 and December 1, 2021 - giving them an extension of two years, Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter announced today. More than 144,000 licences are set to expire in the next two years; with 67,000 in the 12 … View moreThe extension will apply to holders of licences expiring between December 1, 2019 and December 1, 2021 - giving them an extension of two years, Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter announced today. More than 144,000 licences are set to expire in the next two years; with 67,000 in the 12 months from December. "The reprieve gives learner and restricted drivers a little more time to get their full licence, improve their driving skills or save up to pay for the test, but I want to be clear that people on time-restricted licences need to take the necessary steps as soon as possible to move to a full licence," Ms Genter said in a statement. "The imminent expiration of driver licences is linked to a rule change in 2014 that introduced a five-year time limit on restricted or learner licences. "Whether people are unaware their licence is time limited, or for other reasons, the current rate of learner or restricted drivers progressing to the next licence stage is too low." While time-limited licences make sense in theory, Ms Genter said, the reality is "that people without the resources, training, or support to pass these tests risk becoming unlicenced when time’s up".

If you’ve received amazing care through Auckland DHB and want to say ‘thank you’, you can donate, share your story or fundraise, like Paul.
