Somehow Theo is sleeping through these fireworks. If you’re using fireworks please don’t be a dickhead. Please also teach your kids not to be dickheads with fireworks. Stay out of our parks you cannot light fireworks there. Call 111 if you see a fire. Do not hesitate.

Awesome to catch up with Chlöe Swarbrick today and congratulate her on her massive win in Auckland Central. We discussed city centre projects, climate change, housing, and many other issues to help out the community and make Auckland even better.

Love seeing Waiwharariki Anzac Square being used the way we envisioned it would be. What was a carpark & an empty shop is now an exciting place to hangout, play, hold events & markets, sit, read & see friends. It’s also a safe environment to walk through Takapuna from the shops to the beach etc

On the bus home after a rough week, with some good speckled through it too. My focus as always is feeling thankful for my awesome whānau, our community and our great city. Have a good and safe weekend everyone. 💚

A privilege to speak at my old school, for “Glenfield Intermediate Has Talent” and be a guest judge! So many talented students on stage, it was tough to choose the winners. Big turnout from whānau! Things like this remind me how awesome our community is and that the future is in good hands.

Kia ora Hayley. We recently called for a briefing on our drought preparedness plan, the plan is good. Have asked for advice into what we do as a city to deal with heat but not so much at an individual level. So that’s a great idea to go down that route. Will discuss tomorrow. Thank you.

It's official: 2023 will be Auckland's wettest year on record. The previous record, 1979, saw 1487 mm of rain. As of Wednesday, Auckland has now passed that level with more than two months still to go in the year.

Did a break with my family (5yo & 7yo) over Easter this year and spent most of our time in the CBD (apart from a cool bus ride to the zoo and ferry to Devonport). We had just the best time with loads to do. We lived there for 14yrs before moving to HB. Loved it then too ☺️

Two years ago there were no people or trees here. This is what happens when council invests public money into great spaces! Love Te Wānanga & the Quay St upgrade. 50 new gardens, 19 rain gardens, 200 new native trees. Quay St went from 6 lanes to 2, which reduced congestion & improved air quality.

@richardhills.bsky.social I'm loving the new Explore Group ferries to Birkenhead. There's so much space for bikes now, it's amazing not having to stress about being let on with a bike
