News Story

This afternoon members returned to the site in Windmill Road, Mt Eden, where early-December fire ripped through the grandstand at the netball courts. Today's gusty winds were blowing debris from the gutted building across the street and into neighbouring properties. Firefighters stabilised the situation until Auckland Council representatives arrived. Gusts blew timber and metal fittings into the road, a sheet of corrugated iron into kerbside trees and a large section of roof had flipped and fallen into power lines. Members closed Windmill Road in the interests of public safety until council contractors arrived... to take over traffic management and to arrange equipment to make the loose debris safe.
