Needing to rehome an adult cat.

Cathy from Manurewa

I need to re-home Squeex. She has 'adopted' us, however she is giving our four cats a hard time. She is a lovely b&w approximately 4 to 6 years old. Since we have been feeding her she has put on weight and her fur has improved. We've taken her to our vet and she has been vaccinated and wormed. Her teeth were rotten and she had all her teeth removed at the end of April. She is now fully recovered but is still on a soft diet. She is spayed, so somebody loved her at some stage. We have had a couple of people move from the area about the time she arrived! We are calling her Squeex, due to her squeeky meow. She needs a loving home after what she has been through. Her nature with humans is friendly although does not like to be picked up and does not do laps at his stage. . Gives leg rubs and will come inside, accepts wearing a collar. Loves food. With the right older family where she is the only cat she would be a love-bug.
I want a loving home for her. Located in Manurewa.

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.
