Police are seeking witnesses in relation to a man who was located unconscious in Auckland CBD last week.

At about 4.14am on Saturday 27 September emergency services were called after a man was found unconscious on the corner of Pitt Street and Karangahape Road. The male received significant injuries and was transported to hospital in a critical condition.

Detective Senior Sergeant Rebecca Kirk, Auckland City CIB, says Police are working to establish the full circumstances of what occurred, and if anyone was responsible for the man’s injuries. “We know there were several other members of the public who were in the area at the time, and we are hoping they have valuable information to share. There were also two potential witnesses who may have spoken to ambulance officers at the scene, and we would really like them to get in touch.”

If you can help, please use our 105 service and quote file number 250927/4761.
You can also share information anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

At the same time have you been one of the many that have grizzled about the quality of those that represented us over the past three years, or the 47% increase in rates during that time, or some of the changes to the city that tend to benefit a minority rather than what's best for the majority of its citizens? Local Government Election Day is now less than a week away (voting closes at noon on Saturday 11 October, with Tuesday 7 October the last day for postal voting – after which voting papers must be dropped off at council ballot boxes to be counted). Lets get a more meaningful voting turnout this election. And please don't be put off by the STV form of voting. You only have to rank in preference those candidates that you like. It is not necessary to put a ranking number by those candidates you don't like. In other words you can vote for as many or as few candidates as you like.

Poll: Is the Government doing enough now to avoid a serious budget gap in the future? 💸

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

There’s no single fix. It’ll take a mix of solutions to deal with the … View more

Last chance to meet the GWRC Candidates - Tomorrow (Sunday) 5pm

Chris from Hataitai

The Greater Wellington Regional Council has wide-ranging responsibilities including public transport funding and planning, environment management, flood protection, land management, provision of regional parks, and regional emergency management. When you pay your WCC rates invoice, about 20-25 … View moreThe Greater Wellington Regional Council has wide-ranging responsibilities including public transport funding and planning, environment management, flood protection, land management, provision of regional parks, and regional emergency management. When you pay your WCC rates invoice, about 20-25 percent of this is GWRC rates, which, like the city council's rates, have risen sharply in recent years.

Given its range of responsibilities, GWRC should have a more prominent position in Wellingtonians' minds, but 45 years after its inception, it still has a very low profile. Most electors probably give mere lip service to their selection of GWRC candidates. Candidates are often ranked based on name familiarity or party-political advertising, meaning that prospective new and independent input is difficult to achieve.

Last chance to meet the Greater Wellington Regional Council candidates: Sunday 5 October 5pm-6.30pm, Hataitai Bowling Club, 157 Hataitai Rd. An exclusively GWRC meeting, without the "distraction" of mayoral and WCC candidates. All welcome: Come along and listen to and question candidates for GWRC.
