Seaweed clean up underway
The clean up of North Shore City's eastern beaches is underway after stormy weather swept piles of it up onto the sand.
North Shore City parks operations manager, Mike Weaver, says that hopefully the seaweed will be cleaned up in time for the long weekend.
"It will depend a bit on the tide, but we started the clean up at Takapuna Beach last Thursday and will continue all this week, so people can enjoy Waitangi weekend."
The easterly storms of early last week and resulting big swells washed seaweed off rocks and up onto the shore.
"A Milford man called Actionline, our 24-hour, seven-day-a-week call centre, to say it was the worst he had seen in 70 years," says Mr Weaver.
