I have a big heavy picnic table make out of tantalised half rounds that I want to sell but the “buy sell free” column doesn’t seem to be functioning yet. It would be a contactless transaction.

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.
But many have been hit hard.
Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.
Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.
You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
Did you know a government and industry study found the condition of as many as one in two New Zealand homes assessed wasn’t as healthy as it should be?
That has a big impact on our health, but despite the obstacles we face, there are lots of simple ways to make your place warmer and drier, … View moreDid you know a government and industry study found the condition of as many as one in two New Zealand homes assessed wasn’t as healthy as it should be?

Hi neighbours. I just want to ask that you watch out for the pheasants that we have hand reared. They are out and about around Norfolk Road and several people have told us how much they enjoy seeing them. They are young birds and if they turn up at your place they are probably looking for something… View moreHi neighbours. I just want to ask that you watch out for the pheasants that we have hand reared. They are out and about around Norfolk Road and several people have told us how much they enjoy seeing them. They are young birds and if they turn up at your place they are probably looking for something to eat. There are two different breeds and we'd really appreciate help protecting them. Thanks.
This may look like a waste of water, but it’s sometimes better to release a little bit out rather than turn off water to the whole street.
Here we have Water Serviceperson Rapata replacing a broken toby. Rather than turning off the water, he diverted the flow away from the affected house for a … View moreThis may look like a waste of water, but it’s sometimes better to release a little bit out rather than turn off water to the whole street.

Would anyone have plastic plant pots they want to get rid of ? I had heaps and gave them away a while ago . Now I find I need more, small ones mainly. Happy to pick up.
What’s better than a new planter box?
One that serves as a place to stash plant pots or tuck a hose out of sight too.

And observe the Below Government instructions
At Alert Level 2 public venues (e.g. museums, libraries, cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, amusement parks, and farmers’ markets) can open, if they can do so safely.
There is no numeric limit on how many people can be in a public venue at any given time. However, they will need to put measure in place so that:
different groups can keep at least 1 metre distance from each other, and
a contact tracing register is kept.
If the public venue is very large or wide spread (for example a farmers market), and contact tracing isn’t practicable, it’s still OK to operate as long as different groups can keep at least 2 metre distance from each other during their interactions.

When left alone in your pipework for an extended period, water can become stagnant and while it's still safe to drink, it may taste unpleasant, so it’s a good idea to run the tap for a while to make sure you have fresh drinking water.
