Hi Normandale
I hope you are all taking your time to enjoy the neighbourhood.
Those of you that are still working in essential businesses. Keep up the good work and thank you.

WOW!! What a massive March we had.
Thank you to those who are trapping and reporting all your catches to us. I feel we are still a long way off before we "flatten our curve", but every catch counts.
March's Tally
4 Hedgehogs - 79 Mice - 83 Rats - 1 Stoat.
Total = 167 predators removed from Normandale
Our previous largest tally was August 2019 with
1 Hedgehog - 18 Mice - 83 Rats.
Total = 102
One of the cool things about this, is the increase in bird life we will have over time. More and more reports of Kakariki in Normandale are coming in. Just yesterday I saw one on the Zigzag track below Pekanga Rd. Keep an eye and ear out, and see if you can spot one too.
All the best and stay safe.

Unless you are an essential worker, the best way you can help others is by staying home and helping people from there.
Kindness is an incredibly powerful way to show you are united against COVID-19. You can make a huge difference by talking to people over the phone or online:

Kindness is an incredibly powerful way to show you are united against COVID-19. You can make a huge difference by talking to people over the phone or online:
- Checking in on older relatives or vulnerable people to make sure they have everything they need.
- Talking to friends, whānau and neighbours over the phone to see how they are and if they need support.
These kinds of connections and offers of help will go a long way to getting others through COVID-19.

Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding 🌧🍂
So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.

So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.
You can help to reduce the amount of flooding by giving the drains in your street or on your property a sweep every now and then.
Easter weekend is looking a bit wet, so while you’re at home during this lockdown, why not get out and clear leaves and rubbish from on and around stormwater sumps?

If you’re healthy and under 70, you should go to the supermarket instead of shopping online. This will leave delivery slots free for the people who need them most.
• Send one person from your household to do the shop
• Come with a list so you can shop fast
• Keep 2 meters away from others

• Send one person from your household to do the shop
• Come with a list so you can shop fast
• Keep 2 meters away from others
• Use contactless payment, not cash
• Wash your hands when you get home
• Be kind!
Supermarkets and other essential businesses will be closed on Good Friday but open on Easter Sunday. Let's give our essential workers a nice break to say thanks for all the hard work they're doing.
● Wash your hands.
● Use cough and sneeze etiquette.
● Respect self-isolation.
These are only some of the ways that you can keep yourself and your Neighbours safe!

If there are anyone who need food the number to call is (04) 5700273 this is for Salvation Army. I know there are families struggling and with the Petone food distribution closed this is another way to get free fruit, veges and bread so do call.
