Storm ravages east Auckland

Call for cameras after armed man targets cafe

The cleanup is continuing in east Auckland after a severe storm battered the region leaving homes without power, property damage and major flooding.

Coastal areas such as Bucklands Beach, Eastern Beach, Howick Beach, Cockle Bay and Maraetai Beach, were worst hit by the storm and king tide.

A local business owner is calling for more security cameras to be installed on Picton Street after one of his employees was grabbed by an armed man.

The incident took place on Saturday, December 30 at one of Howick’s beloved cafes The Apothecary Licensed Eatery shortly before 9.30pm.

Preparing for the future

As the storm that battered the country earlier this year becomes a distant memory, the focus is turning to how to prepare for the future.Local beaches were battered in the storm, which caused severe flooding, power cuts and widespread debris.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff visited Mellons Bay last Friday on the first of his tour of local beaches to survey the damage and speak with residents and Local Board members about erosion concerns and preventative measures for the future.

Village lift a danger to residents

Residents of a local retirement village are frustrated as their demands to replace a dangerous elevator fall on deaf ears.

The 19-year-old lift at MetlifeCare Pakuranga Village regularly breaks down and elderly residents often find themselves trapped inside.

Familiar face back at Macleans

A Howick infant has been taken into care after suffering serious injuries believed to be consistent with domestic abuse.

The four-month-old girl was admitted to Middlemore Hospital on February 18 where medical staff discovered significant fractures to her skull, ribs, arms and legs.

A Pakuranga home has been destroyed after a fire that ripped through the property at the weekend.

A neighbour on Archmillen Avenue said she called emergency services after smelling smoke and seeing flames through the house’s window.

Residents doubt promise of new lift

Retirement village providers Metlifecare have promised to replace a troublesome lift at the Pakuranga Village following complaints from residents that the existing lift is unsafe.

However residents aren’t confident they will see this promise carried out anytime soon.

Pakuranga murder trial begins The trial of the man accused of killing young Pakuranga mother Chozyn Koroheke is underway in the High Court at Auckland.

Turiarangi Tai is accused of shooting Ms Koroheke once in the abdomen at close range with a 12 gauge double-barrelled shotgun at a house on Pakuranga Rd on April 4 last year.

Ms Koroheke died from her injuries in the back of an ambulance later that night.

Busway approved, less than 40 minutes to Britomart

Steve Hargreaves is the new principal of Macleans College and he has big shoes to fill.

His predecessor, Byron Bentley, spent 18 years at the helm of Macleans College before retiring at the end of last year.

Auckland Council has approved consent for the second stage of a busway that will get you from Botany to Britomart in less than 40 minutes during peak traffic.

Construction of the busway, which will involve construction of a dedicated, congestion-free busway along Lagoon Drive and Pakuranga Road, is due to begin at the end of the year.

Illegal rubbish dumping still an issue

Microchip helps reunite cat with its owner one year later

Illegal rubbish dumping is still proving to be a problem for the residents of east Auckland.

In one of the most recent incidents, a couch was set alight after being dumped in a reserve in Cockle bay.

Residents near the reserve were quick to put out the fire but it again raised the questions of what is being done to tack illegal rubbish dumping in east Auckland?

It’s been exactly one year since Icy the cat went missing from her home in Pakuranga.

Five days before the one year anniversary of her disappearance, Icy and her owner were joyfully reunited with the help of a microchip.

New police base for Beachlands

The Howick Youth Council used Khorshed Tarapore’s petition ‘Save east Auckland bus routes’ to write recommendation on how AT could improve the new network and better include youth in transport decisions in the future.

Howick Youth Council calls for greater transparency around transport

Fuel tax to cost Aucklanders $1.5bn more

A recent meeting between the Howick Youth Council and Auckland Transport (AT) has sparked hope among east Auckland youth of greater transparency around transport projects in the future.

The topics of discussion included the possibility of restoring direct bus routes from Bucklands Beach and Cockle Bay to the city, transparency around future public transport initiatives, and how AT can better engage the local community.

With Auckland’s regional fuel tax coming into effect this week, National’s transport spokesperson Jami-Lee Ross says the cost of living in Auckland is set to skyrocket.

He says Aucklanders will be paying a total of up to $1.5 billion more for petrol, Ross says.

Police seeking witnesses after teen dies following Half Moon Bay accident

OSC’s new approach to NCEA

Ormiston Senior College will be doing things differently with Year 11 students and NCEA next year.

With schools becoming more aware of the adverse effect of continual assessment on adolescent mental health, come 2019, a new approach to NCEA in the first year of senior college has been planned.

Students will begin working towards NCEA Level 2 over two years instead of focusing on NCEA Level 1 for a year and then Level 2 the second year.

Looking Back 2018 Ross delivers evidence to cops

October

Ross denies leak accusations

Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross is firmly denying accusations that he is the person who leaked National Party leader Simon Bridges’ travel expenses and is accusing Bridges of using him as a scapegoat.

Bridges called a press conference at 1pm today where he announced that the lengthy leak investigation suggests Ross is the person who leaked the information.

Bridges says Ross is a “lone wolf” MP and says his allegations of illegal activity are baseless.

Embattled MP JamiLee Ross yesterday reported National Party leader Simon Bridges to the Police for fraudulently handling party donations.

Ross has also resigned from the National Party and from his role as MP for Botany today forcing a by-election. He announced he will stand as an independent in the ensuing by-election.

Four women speak out against Jami-Lee Ross

Information has emerged claiming former Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross has manipulated, intimidated and bullied at least four women during his time in Parliament.

It has also been revealed that Ross has had at least two affairs in which the women have accused him of pressuring and controlling them.

Ross admitted to the affairs but denies claims of bullying and intimidation.

He says he will no longer be resigning his seat.

Some residents claim 2 Struan Place (left of image) has been a hotbed of trouble since building began.

Ross took to twitter to deny that he had any involvement in the leak and accused Bridges of using him as a scapegoat.

The first of 61 houses along Pakuranga Road came crashing down last week to make way for the AMETI Eastern Busway. It’s been a quarter century in the making.

Ormiston Town Centre begins to take shape

One of Auckland’s fastest growing communities is about to undergo a significant transformation, with the construction of a new $200 million-plus town centre being built from scratch in southeast Auckland.

Plans have been unveiled for the Ormiston Town Centre, a newly created urban environment that will include retail stores, restaurants, a gym, movie theatres, a library, an aquatic centre, and a range of public open spaces that will connect to the neighbouring park.

Man charged with murder in Flat Bush

Howick Santa Parade a huge success

With a record 60 floats, the Howick Santa Parade was a huge success and the judges enjoyed engaging with everyone and seeing all the effort our local community put in. Many said they hadn’t seen such a huge turnout at the event.

Police have arrested a male following the death of a 34-year-old female in Flat Bush on Monday night.

Shortly after 10pm, police were called to an address following reports that a female was attacked.

When police arrived at the scene, the woman was found unconscious with a number of serious wounds. The victim was transported to Middlemore Hospital but died from her injuries.
