Have you been asked to remove your face mask in a shop?

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Papakura Courier

Hi neighbours, New World has issued an apology after its Papakura store asked customers not to wear face masks as they entered the shop so their faces could be scanned by cameras. New World Papakura was displaying a sign which stated shoppers should only where a mask once inside. The supermarket chains has acknowledged the request was "not in line with Government guidance on mask use”. Have you been asked to remove your face mask in a shop?

Trucks Parking in Residential Streets

Greg from Takanini

How do people feel about truck and trailer units parking in our residential streets? Manuroa and Airfield Roads in Takanini are truck parks every night. This is a safety issue as trucks and buses cross onto the wrong side of the road to pass them. They also block sight lines for people leaving their properties and turning out of side streets. Parking beside reserves and playgrounds means children are stepping out from behind these vehicles to cross our busy streets. The empty flatbed trailer units are hard to see at night, especially in wet weather. There have been at least two accidents in Takanini, one fatal, involving cars hitting these trailers. The Takanini Residents Group have raised this with the Papakura Local Board and Auckland Council, but as these vehicles are legally parked, we are told there is nothing that can be done. I know this is a problem in other areas in South Auckland, so I would like to hear what people think about this issue.
