I love Mt Albert!
I love Mt Albert! I’ve been living in here for 5 years and never thought of moving from this area because it’s handy to everything. It’s close to my work place in Avondale, I can access to the near-by train station by a small walk, easily driving to St Luke’s mall for shopping and Dominion Rd for dinning. The Rocket Park is a nice place for morning or afternoon walks. Mt Albert makes me feel like a home place, a cosy community zone where I can access to all the resources I need. (from Dan)

Volunteering in a new "normal" needs support
COVID-19 has changed the volunteering landscape. The likely scenario for NGOs reliant on volunteers will be a short fall of people unable to volunteer as in pre-COVID days. With seniors [over 65yrs] being the back bone of many of our volunteer activities in the community now unable [unwilling through health fears?] to undertake their usual roles, this will leave a big gap in the ability of NGOs to deliver services at pre-COVID levels. An increasing number of people will also be subsisting on a much reduced income will be accessing community services in larger numbers and the community groups stepping up to support them will need additional people to support the delivery of those needs – these are generally volunteers. The increasing numbers of unemployed people will also be looking to contribute, retrain and wanting to ensure their own good mental health will need support in sourcing community voluntary activities that will best meet their needs. We need to support our community organisations to relook at their volunteer involving programmes and practices, how they recruit, support, identify and allocate voluntary tasks, ensuring the health and wellbeing of both the recipients and the volunteers. Volunteering Auckland is well placed to support the volunteering needs of both the person looking to contribute and those community groups needing support in their volunteer engagement processes and practices. Our database can also track referrals to needs by suburb and by local board. We are able to operate regionally and virtually. Volunteering will increasingly become a way to ensure a resilient community.

Clean up the Manukau
A big ask that falls too often on deaf ears even within council. So get a bigger voice and join forces with all the local boards from around the Manukau Harbour along with the Manukau Harbour Forum and start insisting Council prioritise the Manukau Harbour. We are all paying targeted rates for this, yet most of this goes to the Waitamata. We need a deep sea pipe to take treated wastewater out of the harbour instead of allowing Watercare to continue their outflows for the next 25 years. Work together and make yourselves heard.

Cornwall Park is good place for walking and exercise.
My home is near to Cornwall Park, so I often go there to work and meeting other people. There have the toilet there, but it's not enough sometimes - there is a long queue to get into it, especially on the weekend. (Pansy, Epsom, Chinese, 30 - 40 yrs)

Pamelia 20yrs Chinese wish local board improve the bus transport services for Eden-Albert community member. Sometimes people need to take
the long times to get their destination. So change the bus routes to university or school directly. Do not need to go Nu-market or City first and then change other buses to their school
