Covid in Tahunanui – What a Surprise.

Tony from Tahunanui

Unlike Pohara and other campgrounds Tahunanui campground did not require vaccination passes. Now they are asking everyone there between January 30 and February 5 to get tested as a camper has been found positive.
Tahuna Beach Holiday Park chief executive David Pattinson has today cheerfully announced the campground had been “taking all precautions, and some” since the Christmas break and “we are following Ministry of Health guidelines to the letter at this point”.

Note ‘at this point’ rather than ‘right from the start’.

Beforehand the camp had advised Stuff media that masks would be required but living nearby I can report masks were pretty well not to be seen although, now it’s too late, the camp may become a little more proactive.

I hope the camp’s laissez faire attitude to Covid (presumably preferring money to community health) has not resulted in a spreader event for all of the out of town campers or those of us lucky enough to share our town with Tahunanui camp and its managers.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
