I believe they will remain silent unless enough of we the Ratepayers urge them to act now to save money. What do people think?

Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

We know some of you are facing threatening and potentially harmful times at home right now. Police will be there for you if you call us.

If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

There seems to be one piece of information missing from the Government's v outline of the new border protection/quarantine measures.
How long is it intended this will last for? As it applies to everyone arriving in NZ - not having a time frame makes it impossible to plan for a visit to NZ if you live in Australia. Or are Australians banned from the country?

Kapiti and Covid19

Edwina from Paraparaumu Beach

Looking at the Government database (covid 19.govt) there is only one case reported by CCDHB that is NOT linked to travel. Also we have no clusters in Wellington. There is no apparent community transmission in Porirua or Kapiti. Very heartening news.

Hi, fellow Kapiti community,

Hope you are all safe in your own bubbles and being stuck at home is not as bad as most of us first thought.

Throughout this lockdown you have probably had more time to spend with the family that our normal busy lives wouldn’t allow as much, and also time to do that list of chores and jobs around the house such as gardening, clearing out the garage and sorting out the old rubbish you never got the time to sort through.

Once the lockdown is lifted and we will go back to or busy lives which will be extra busy with trying to catch up on the back log throughout the lockdown, so if you have been busy in the garden or sorting out your old rubbish then call That Trailer Guy on 027-8724537 or e-mail info@thattrailerguy.co.nz to book a time/day slot to come and pick your greenwaste and rubbish up and take to the tip, also picking up the large on-line purchases, whilst you catch up with your work life once we are back to normal.

Bookings are now being taken on a first come first served basis, once we allowed to commence.

Be good and Stay Safe
