Do you want a say on what happens to St Paul's Church, the historic wooden church next to the school at Buckland? The meeting will discuss finding a suitable site to relocate St Paul’s and potentially releasing the land it's on to the Buckland School for its development in a rapidly growing community. We are hoping to find a suitable site for the relocation of this historic building in the Buckland area. A document giving more details of the proposed plan is available from the Pukekohe Anglican Church and the Buckland School office.

Kathleen Clemens takes such pride in cleaning the Hunua Falls toilets that they have been named Keep NZ Beautiful's best loos 2020.

The 26-year-old, who has learning difficulties, works her magic on four women’s toilets, two men’s toilets and a disabled toilet, plus three urinals.

She landed her first job as a part-time cleaner after her family noticed her commitment to cleanliness.

Clemens opted to tidy the litter and dirt around her family's Hunua Falls food cart instead of complaining about the mess.

The loos she keeps sparkling clean are looked after by Citycare Property and its partner Civic Contractors.

They said that even though park users are expected to take their waste home, Clemens picks up every scrap of litter left behind near the toilets and carpark.

Where are the other top loos in Auckland?

Where are the cleanest public toilets you've visited?
