Councillor Simpson encourages everyone to stay local

Cathy McIntosh from Ōrākei Local Board

The Government’s decision to move Auckland to alert level 3 until 26 August after a new outbreak of the COVID-19 virus means everyone in Ōrākei once again has a role to play by staying home and staying local when they go out to shop or exercise

“We’ve done it before, and if we want to get out of Level 3 as quickly as possible, we need to work together and do it again,” says Ōrākei ward Councillor Desley Simpson of the regionwide placement at Alert Level 3 to stop the spread of COVID-19.

To meet central government regulations many council facilities are now closed and amenities like playgrounds, park benches and basketball courts are off-limits during the level 3 lockdown.

"even if you can’t see a closed sign on the equipment, the fact that COVID-19 can live on a surface for up to 72 hours means that to keep you, your family and others safe, you should keep off it."

Cat door

Andrea Neighbourly Lead from St Heliers

I am going away for a short time next month and need to have my cat door fixed so I can fit the gadget to it which prevents cats, other than mine, from entering my home. The cat door is already an hole in the door but the flap part has come off and leaves an open space. Not sure how things will work but maybe there is an handyman who could come and have a look and see if something will work out ?? Sorry the description is '' vague'' but it's not your usual cat door! Thanks so much.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
