Many community members did compliment the event and are very happy we have sorted local event shared by all.

 

Taste of Puketapapa

Excellent two week event.

Our community plus other Auckland community were able to come over and taste the diverse community dishes. 

 

Carols by Candlelight

Excellent annual Christmas event for the community.

Weather was great and atmosphere was amazing.

 

Other Issues:

 

87 Parau Street

Issue with hedges and allergies, neighbours house belong to Housing NZ, met with Lily Brown housing NZ on site to sort our possibilities to trim and remove the allergy plants.

This owner is 82 years old and also facing issues about her berms. 

She was angry as a pensioner she now has to pay for the berm on top of her lawn to be mowed.

 

Dumping

A lot of dumping around the Sommerset Road on the Auckland Transport land.  As soon as the side berm grass is over grown to half a meter high dumping is becoming a problem, sofa’s televisions.  I had to lodge a complaint for all dumping to be picked up so community don’t start dumping.  Signs need to be placed around this area.

 

Email of solo parent:

 

Dear Ella,

 

I am writing in regards to the lawn which needs to be mowed, outside my property 562 Richardson Road. Being a corner house I have. Two sides which needs to be mowed and I have been quoted NZD45 for the first cut and NZD30 for every fortnightly cut (this is not even counting my regular lawn cost of NZD30 which is done fortnightly).  This means I have to pay double the amount for the lawn! NZD30 fortnightly is going to add up the cost of lawn mowing to NZD1440.00 per annum instead of NZD720.00 and I think this is outrageous!  It is already so hard managing the expenses as a Solo mum with rising rates, electricity and other necessities and I am not happy with this decision made by Land transport.

 

I will appreciate if you can please see if it can be arranged to be done  as I  think this had been unfairly passed on to me as  the house owner.

 

Thank you appreciate your assistance with this.

 

Kind Regards 

Kalpa Patel 

 

 

Recommendation/s

I request the Board to consider adopting these recommendations below.

Even though the Board has already agreed in the previous Annual Plan to not have berm mowing, our residents are more affected than we thought at the time. I recommend we review our position and consider community feedback on this issue. Many of our affected residents are from low income or refugee background. There are a high number of rental properties so there is no strong a sense of ownership of some of the areas which are now presenting us a problem.

 

That the Puketapapa Local Board

a) receives the report

b) requests officers to investigate other methods initiate to deter people from dumping including possible erecting signs around the Sommerset Road indicating “No Dumping” to deter people from dumping along this road.

c) agrees to investigate options for addressing the berm mowing issue is proving to be a problem issue for some parts of our community.

d) requests officers to assist in identifying ownership of those parcels of land that are overgrown so that it can help the board and the community to find a way to address this.
