High Vaccination Uptake
Well done to Kaipātiki on the high COVID-19 vaccination uptake!
The latest data (as of Tuesday 5 October) shows that for the Kaipātiki Local Board area (west of the motorway and south of Sunset Rd), 89% of people over 12 years old have received their first dose and 53% have received the second. I expect the second dose figure to go up over the coming weeks to match the first dose figure, so we're well on-track to 90% coverage.
The rates are a little lower for our local Māori and Pacific Island communities, but still very high at 72% and 79% respectively.
Meanwhile, the wider North Shore is tracking well with 90% first dose for the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area; 86% for the Hibiscus And Bays Local Board area; and 89% for the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT HELP NEEDED😄
For my lovely 🍓 89yo mum. Ideally 1 - 2 days pw. I'm looking at 8am - 2pm. Making her breakfast (weetbix, eggs, toast), mid morning porridge & lunch. Basic cooking skills & light cleaning duties (cleaning bathroom, keeping lounge tidy)😄 & keeping her company when im out food shopping/attending appointments. No showering as we have a carer doing that. She loves company & her Chinese TV. Mum is a softly spoken person with good SOH. Suited to someone similar like her & reliable. I'm there in the mornings & can give you guidance & support. An awesome opportunity for someone who loves working with the elderly. If you know of anyone or perhaps yourself you'd love to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😄
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
