Rubbish dumped on section at Bay View
Anyone else disgusted by the rubbish dumped on the "cars for sale" section on Gill Road/Main North Road corner? I cleaned up two bags with my own HDC rubbish bags and a friend has tried to clean up some of the black bags and put them out to be collected but has been told in no uncertain terms by NCC Council staff to leave it alone or SHE will be prosecuted!! A council staff member was actually sitting in a van nearby this morning waiting to pounce as soon as she touched it - so council have the resources to send someone out to stake out the area & warn off people trying to clean it up but no resources to clean up the rubbish? In the meantime it is absolutely heaving with maggots and bugs and is only going to get worse if stray dogs get into it.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
