Would you choose an electric scooter over the bus or a car?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!

Hi neighbours,

Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!

About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.

What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!

Crashes in Auckland are causing traffic delays for motorists ahead of Labour Weekend.

Auckland Transport advised motorists to allow extra time for their journeys this morning. A crash at 7.40am along the northwestern motorway was blocking the middle lane eastbound after Newton Rd, the New Zealand Transport Agency said. Footage from traffic cameras showed the speed on the motorway had been reduced to 50kmh.

Tamaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager Inspector Scott Webb says traffic congestion is going to reach peak levels on Friday and Saturday as motorists leave Auckland for the long weekend.

Inspector Webb says three people were killed and eight people were seriously injured on our roads across Tamaki Makaurau during Labour Day Weekend in 2017.

Varicose veins can be treated without surgery.

Vein and Laser

Veins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as … View moreVeins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as fatigue, heaviness, itching or even cramps.

Historically, treatment of varicose centred on surgical removal of varicose veins under general anaesthetic. However, endovenous catheter ablation has become so successful that surgery is seldom needed. Endovenous means "working inside the vein" and ablation means "to close off". Under local anaesthetic, a laser fibre is threaded into the varicose vein and used to close off the problem veins, prompting the blood to redirect itself. Compression stockings are worn for two weeks post-treatment and regular walking is recommended.

There is no need for time off work. If you have varicose veins that are affecting you call Vein & Laser for a consultation with our doctor, vein physician Elisabeth De Felice.

Hi there!

For all you lovely parents in my neighbourhood, I just wanted some feedback to gauge if one of my ideas will be of benefit to you and your little/big ones at home for this coming November.

I was thinking of allocating one hour a day to help children living on the shore develop social, leadership, communication and sportsmanship skills with other children of different backgrounds through sport. More so, if it's not for these reasons, it is to build friendships and getting kids out of their comfort zone in a safe environment.

1.5 hrs for $15 each late afternoon/evening depending on what suits to most parents for ~2 weeks.

Would anyone be interested?

I have over 2 years of experience working with children by conducting birthday parties dressed up as a genie/moana. Happy to share reviews with you if interested. I'm also completing my 3rd year in pharmacy at the University of Auckland - you can trust me!

PS: All proceeds will be donated to a hospice close to my heart in memory of my grandfather for my 21st birthday in Jan.

Let me know your thoughts! :)

RATIONALE: Every day I see students at university who lack basic social etiquette and skills, emotional intelligence, and bravery to interact with other students who are not like them - this needs to change. I've spent my formative years in over three countries giving me an advantage to help your child become more flexible to change and more optimistic about diversity. Feel free to message me for more information. With as much as I can do, I want to be out here in the community using my time to build relationships with children/people in my community in as little as an hour a day.
