The amount of rain expected will pick anything up in its path and do what it's designed to do, take it down your drain and into your Stormwater line. We recommend checking your yard and picking up anything light that could be carried by the rain and taken down your drain. As much as we'd love your business and to see you, we're sure it's an expense you don't need this side of Christmas. We have the Hydro Jett unit available for our neighborhood in case you find yourself experiencing flooding or blocked drains. Keep well & keep dry.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.
