Lost dog?

Natalie from Sandringham

Hi all.
A friend went home from mine via Calgary Street about 40 mins ago (12am) and saw what she thought was a Dalmatian (with black and white spots) wandering the street alone. Posting in case someone is missing and searching for their pup!

Hi Auckland,

What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?

Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.

Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.

Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used by Stuff.

Is it OK in these Covid times to de-mask for a beer or a coffee on a ferry?

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, If mask-wearing is mandatory on all public transport, why are more people not getting pulled up for failing to do so. And does it make sense to allowed masks to drop for a beer, wine or coffee? Read the story below:

Poll: Are you taking steps to save water in your household?

Watercare is urging Aucklanders to keep conserving water this week- normally the region's highest water consumption week of the year.

The first week of February is traditionally the biggest week of the year when it comes to Aucklanders' water use, said Watercare head of servicing and consents, Mark Bourne.

“Last year was a little different because we were in the midst of a drought, and water use skyrocketed throughout the month of February because there was just no rain," Bourne said.

"We were breaking record after record, with water use peaking at 568 million litres a day."

Normally the first week in February is when Watercare would see water use spike dramatically, he said.

"It's when most people are back from their summer holidays, commercial production increases, the school term is starting and the weather is often very hot and dry."

Bourne said it was imperative that Aucklanders kept up the great water-saving habits they had adopted since restrictions were put in place in May.

"Together we’ve saved more than 10 billion litres in the past eight months, and in January our water use stayed comfortably under our target."

If you are doing your bit for conservation, what are some water saving hacks that you use?
