Point View Dr offers some stunning views over East Auckland, but unfortunately some people dump rubbish which ruins it for everyone.

Today we had 2nd annual clean up, organised by Howick Local Board Member Mike Turinsky (he organised the event last year as well). We removed lots of rubbish thanks to the generous local volunteers who gave up a few hours of their Saturday morning to make it happen. So disappointing to see the amount of bottles, plastic and polystyrene littering the environment.

Good to see this supported by local politicians with John Spiller (Howick Local Board Member), Paul Young (Howick Ward Councillor) and Naisi Chen (Labour's candidate for Botany).
