Waikanae town centre and beach businesses operating level 3

Sue from Waikanae

Good afternoon everyone (and what an extraordinary Indian Summer we've had for our lock-down, we've been so lucky!)

I've put together phone numbers for Waikanae businesses opening for collections and takeaways from Tuesday. It would be awesome if you could print this for friends and neighbours who mightn't be on any form of social media.

And our fish and chip shops seem to be open too now - give them a ring to see how they are handling takeaways!

If we all support local, we'll get the heart of our lovely town thumping again!

Groundwork

The Team from Wellington Water

To repair a leak, it must first be found—and this can be more complicated than you might think.

In this case, infrastructure had been built over the manhole cover that would normally be used to inspect a pipe, so our team had to find another way into it.

Here’s Foreman Mika and Drainlayer … View more
To repair a leak, it must first be found—and this can be more complicated than you might think.

In this case, infrastructure had been built over the manhole cover that would normally be used to inspect a pipe, so our team had to find another way into it.

Here’s Foreman Mika and Drainlayer Richie feeding a CCTV camera down the pipe after the team had carefully uncovered it with a digger.

Armed with detailed images of the 30 metre long pipe, they had the information they needed to finish the job.

Azzy still missing

Maryanne from Waikanae

Hi all, This is probably a long shot.. I was just wondering if anyone might have seen Azzy. He has been missing almost a year now, and I was hoping during the lockdown he may have been noticed, possibly seen, settled down somewhere or whatever.

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us all how quickly life can change. For many New Zealanders, this has meant job losses or significant pay cuts – and the family pantry suddenly empty.

For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.

(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

F - Face - Is it drooping on one side?
A - Arm - Is one arm weak?
S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?
T - Take Action - Call 111 immediately.

Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

They got out there responding to surface flooding, removing blockages and pumping water away from properties that were being threatened by flooding 🌧 Also great to hear a bunch of positive feedback from residents for our folks who were out in the storm taking care of business yesterday.

Shout out to those who took our suggestions on clearing out sumps in their streets – this definitely makes a difference 🍂
