Bins Glorious Bins

By

Good morning John. As requested I detail below my comments made at the Committee Meeting on 28 September 2017.
All Red                                        General Waste
All Green                                    General Waste
Yellow Top Green Base             Green Waste        )
Yellow Top Green Base             Recycled items     )    These two only distinguished with different stuck on labels. Let us hope the Collection Drivers are not colour blind.
Yellow Top Blue Base 140 Ltr    General Waste and Food.
Red Top Green Base   120 Ltr    General Waste    I do need to confirm this one as I cannot locate the information source.
We still have orange bags for general waste until 31 March 2018.
Since the meeting, in Pak N Save Lincoln North they had for sale Yellow Plastic Bags for General Waste. This item was reported in the Western Leader 3 October on sale in Super Markets at Royal Heights and Te Atatu Peninsular. Collection only for those two areas collection by Enviro Waste on a Thursday and Friday.  I think this is a new contractor on the block.
Note. Also it was reported since the meeting a special Food Bin was to be introduced by 2020. Thus the Yellow Top Blue Base Bin would then be only for General Waste.
Collections dates for the above items differ dependent on where you reside and the combined AK Council and other Private Contractors.
Interesting further notes.
On Thursday morning 5 October, when I collected my NZ Herald from the box at 7.00 am, I observed a Neighbour on the opposite side of the road had put out for collection, 4 Orange Bags, A yellow top Blue Base Bin, A Yellow Top Green Base Bin and an All Green Bin. Sadly I did not see any Partridge in the Pear Tree ! 
All this for one residential property.
Later in the morning whilst travelling home along Triangle Road, between the HuruHuru Stream Bridge and the roundabout Junction Waimumu/Triangle Road, I was shocked to see the great number of bins kerbside for the right of way to multiple residential properties. NO BIG BINS THERE !

Royal Heights Shopping Center needs an upgrade

By

Massey Birdwood Settlers Association your local resident and ratepayers group is concerned. Royal Heights/Massey East could be the new Te Atatu Peninsula. It needs development not into housing but a modern new shopping centre with café bars, and similar acting as a meeting place for locals. The Association is concerned about the fact that Massey residents are paying $1.89 for a litre of 91 petrol yet in on Swanson Road the price is $1.81. The area has a good percentage of homes with good views and a nice ambiance. New housing is being built down Moire Road. The fact is we do not need to take second best. Westgate is not our local shopping centre and is a dying shopping centre. The area has a great rugby club, an athletics club and a great park. We can be the best. The Association has written to the local board asking for its help to put pressure on the owners of Royal Heights shopping centre to turn the centre into the centre of the future. It is great to see residents who are keen to a great shopping centre that will become a focal point of the area with a lovely park bordering the centre for people to enjoy.

Culture at the Massey Birdwood Settlers Association

By

Education, keep fit and sporting activities take place at the Massey Birdwood Settlers Hall. You can also learn and practice the art of Quilting every second Wednesday in one of the halls side rooms, known as the Den. The sessions run from 6.30pm to around 9pm with Wendy Oswin showing you how to undertake the tricky bits of Quilting. On the second Saturday of every month, the Waitakere City Cake Decorating Club converge on the Hall. Demonstrations and classes are held that teach you how to decorate the cake for your 21st birthday, or your friend’s Wedding.  Some wonderful hand crafted cakes end up being on display that are just too nice to eat! You can contact the club through the clubs email address wccdc.secretary@gmail.com,
