Disability parking spaces are for those of us with disabilities to park closer to shops. They are not for those of you who are too lazy to walk the extra 20 feet or so to the door, they are not for those of you that are "only going to be 5 minutes", they are not for those of you who are … View moreDisability parking spaces are for those of us with disabilities to park closer to shops. They are not for those of you who are too lazy to walk the extra 20 feet or so to the door, they are not for those of you that are "only going to be 5 minutes", they are not for those of you who are overweight and find it a struggle to walk any further.
They are for people with DISABILITIES. And unless you have a valid CCS permit that is clearly displayed, you can't park there. You must use YOUR OWN PERMIT, not mum's or dad's or grandma's... Yours. Apparently it will cost you a $650 fine if you are reported by someone.. and well deserved if you want to park there when you're not supposed to.
So if you park where I can't (because your not supposed to be there), don't be surprised if I block you in while I go about my business. And remember, our attitude towards you when you get caught out on this is often directly attributed to your attitude towards us for bringing it to your attention.
With the summer holidays arriving in earnest, Aucklanders will soon be heading out to our city’s many parks, ranges and islands to walk, swim and play. While enjoying these holiday activities, remember to keep our kauri trees in mind.

The clock is ticking (and no, we're not referring to the Christmas countdown!) - single-use plastic bags will be out of circulation from July 1, 2019.
All retailers, ie not just supermarkets, will no longer be able to sell or give away single-use plastic shopping bags after this date. To read more, click here.
Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?
Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

Hi neighbours,
A binding referendum on personal cannabis is to be held at the 2020 general election. Do you think personal cannabis use should be legalised in NZ? Read more about the topic here.
Tis the season for twinkling lights. And what better way to celebrate the end of the year festivities than by venturing out to see some of the best light displays Auckland has to offer.
Opening times are changing for many Auckland Council services over the summer holidays.
