It is our democratic right, so why don’t we vote?
Yes it is the Local Government Elections. They are as important as the Central Government elections.
The Massey Birdwood Settlers Association has run a meet the mayoral candidates meeting and a meet the candidates meeting. Lots of opportunity for people to engage.
The candidates themselves are engaging through every form of media they can, however out here in the Henderson Massey Local Board area the numbers who have voted to date is less than in other parts of Auckland. Why?
Show people you care for democracy. That you care about our local parks. VOTE NOW.
Get your vote in the post before the 6 October.
Tsunami sirens on Auckland’s north and west coasts will be tested for the second time this year at noon on Sunday 25 September by Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management.
The twice-yearly tests are scheduled to coincide with beginning and end of daylight saving, which runs from 25 September until 2 April 2017.
“It’s important to regularly test the sirens to make sure they are working,” says Aaron Davis, Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management’s Head of Operations.
“There is no cause for alarm when the sirens are tested and the public aren’t required to do anything,” Mr Davis says. “But they will give residents the opportunity to find out what the sirens sound like.”
The sirens are one of several technology-based public warning systems that Auckland Civil Defence has in place for the entire region, says Mr Davis. “People can also subscribe to SMS text messaging or email alerts, the Red Cross Hazard smartphone app or engage with us via Twitter and Facebook,” he says.
The tsunami sirens are located in Rodney at Point Wells, Whangateau, Omaha and Waiwera.
In Waitākere sirens are located at Bethells Beach Te Henga, Piha North, Piha South, Karekare, Whatipu, Little Huia, Huia, Te Atatu South, Harbour View Road, Te Atatu Peninsula North, Westpark Marina, Hobsonville Airbase (Harrier Point) and Herald Island.
The Massey Birdwood Settlers Association Inc, owners of the Massey Birdwood Settlers Hall, situated on the corner of Don Buck and Red Hills Road in Massey, are planning a meet the candidates meeting on Thursday 22nd September starting at 7pm.
Candidates for the Henderson Massey Local Board, the Waitakere Ward of the Auckland Council and the Waitemata District Health Board will be invited to speak.
