Bee friendly council gardens
All decorative flower beds should use plants that are good for bees and other beneficial insects. This would be so easy and cost no more since it would only take one season to switch the nurseries to different species. Even outside suppliers could do this in their sleep.

Quick Win: pop-up parking protected cycleways on wide streets
We have so many wide, wide streets with parking and oodles of width that could easily be made into parking protected cycle lanes with some flexiposts, planters or similar. We cannot wait for Auckland Transport to fund gold plated projects - this has resulted a pathetic level of bicycle infrastructure at a time of impressive year old year growth regardless. The city centre is the 'last mile' for many cycling trips and we let them all down at the last minute - we should be supplementing the existing network to create as much safe cycling space as possible - there are no excuses any more - it is simply predatory delay and I hope the WLB can move through this to create some positive change sooner rather than later

Protect Dove Myer Robinson Park from any further development
Stop any more memorials being add to the park, where there is no link. Signpost and celebrate the history. Set up and run storytelling sessions under the pohutukawa tree. Create an appropriate and well consulted reserve management plan so that we don't have to keep fighting to protect this historic place. Look after what we do have, which is magnificent historic trees, Swainson's steps and bridle track and incredible history that tells the stories of the beginings of our city.

ACAF
Support council procurement moving into business practices that help with climate action. For instance, the council organisation should prioritise procurement with manufacturers or companies that are committed to repair rather than replacement. Council is a very large organisation and replacement of office components (e.g phones, computers) is responsible for literal tones of waste. In addition, irreparable technology (e.g Apple) have single-use components that have to be mined.

More Car Share locations
Car share helps people live without a car, increases public and active transport and reduces emissions. With more car share locations more residents can have access to a safe, affordable and environmentally friendly transport option.
