Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board chairperson Apulu Reece Autagavaia said he was saddened to see recent vandalism deface the board's efforts to beautify community spaces and showcase artists. "Before, families told us they had to travel to other parts of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland to enjoy good quality playgrounds. Manukau Ward councillor Alf Filipaina is urging those behind the vandalism and graffiti to stop and for the community to care for playgrounds and report incidents. To report damage or vandalism to a playground or park, call 09 301 0101 or use the report a problem tool.
