There are plenty of ways to keep in touch and support one another over the next several weeks. Just don't forget about those with limited internet or mobile phone access!
Hi everyone, we are continuing to run an on-call service for the next 4 weeks while in lockdown (a list of things classed as essential will be below).

I'm aware that many are feeling a financial strain at this time so, IF MONEY IS A PROBLEM PLEASE TALK TO US ABOUT OPTIONS. In what can be a scary time, having no power can amplify that feeling so please get in touch.
I would largely appreciate it if you could share this message. One of the hardest things for us is making people aware of what we do. As always, a massive thank you to our clients, it's your support that helps us give back to the community in times like this.
Our goal is to stay home as much as possible for the safety of the Kapiti community, so we may decide your problem is not essential while in lockdown. If this is the case, we can schedule you in for when we reopen. We will also be wearing a facemask and disposable gloves for our safety and yours, on arrival.
Problems that warrant a call-out:
▪️ No Hot Water
▪️ Loss of Power
▪️ Partial Loss of Power (loss of lights or loss of necessary
powerpoints)
▪️ Pump Failure
▪️ Major Oven Repairs (due to not being able to order
takeaways)
▪️ Loss of Power for Medical Equipment
▪️ Loss of Heating
Always open to a conversation if you are concerned about anything or wanting general advice on 0278414557
All the best from our family to yours,
Daniel Watson

Good morning Neighbours, my name is Glenn McIsaac. In these uncertain times we find ourselves in of late, some maybe wondering how to cope with running errands and how to source everyday items too.

In these uncertain times we find ourselves in of late, some maybe wondering how to cope with running errands and how to source everyday items too.
If you need anything done away from home and are unable to leave or you need something picked up, or whatever, then PLEASE PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me on; 021 023-12550 and together we will sort out a solution. There will of course be no charge for this help, unless you’re in a position to give any food or product which will be handed over to the Kapiti Food Bank.
Thank you neighbours 🥰 and I mean it, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am free all weekend (now!) and after 4 generally during the week.
Otherwise good luck everyone and please let’s all keep an eye out for our elderly, infirm and housebound neighbours during these times ❤️

ANYONE FOR GOLF? I am investing my limited funds into membership of the Kapiti golf club. I may well find someone playing, but Neighbourly found a dog-needy person for me last year and I'm hoping luck will come my way again. A good golf mate would be not elderly but older, capable of playing without losing more than 4 balls per game, man or woman; living around Paraparaumu Beach might have some advantages.
When I played as a student I tried to get my handicap under 21 but I can't remember doing that, and I haven't played more than 4 games since 1975. Nothing like renewal, eh?

Now is your chance to get organised and come up with a plan for supporting your neighbours and keeping in touch over the next several weeks. We've come up with this 'Our Neighbourhood Plan' template to help.

Metlink GM Scott Gallacher says, that while there are still a number of issues to work out, all trains and buses will move to Sunday services after Tuesday.
“We’ll work to deliver to the current timetables across the network tomorrow but from first thing Wednesday morning, Sunday timetables will be implemented,” says Mr Gallacher.
Buses will no longer board from the front door. Metlink apologises to customers who rely on the accessibility options provided at the front door and encourages customers to find out more about Total Mobility services during this time by calling 0800 801 700.
Customers will be encouraged to continue their own physical distancing practices on all trains and buses, leaving a space next to them where they can.
“We’re still working out what this might mean for Wairarapa rail services and will provide more updates when they become available,” says Mr Gallacher.
UPDATE: As part of the move to Sunday timetables, Metlink school bus services will not run from Wednesday.
From Monday 23rd March 2020, all general practice surgeries have been instructed to screen people entering their facilities and therefore apply a ‘closed door’ policy. We will be providing consultations by phone, email or video.

We will be providing consultations by phone, email or video.
If you have a pre-booked appointment, your doctor or nurse will contact you via one of these methods. If they feel it is necessary to see you face-to-face they will organise this with you.
If you need to book an appointment, you must contact us by telephone or Manage My Health first.
If you have been advised by the government to self isolate (eg you are 70 years of age of older or immunocompromised) and need medical assistance, please contact us by telephone or Manage My Health so we can help you. We have local pharmacies who can assist with home delivery of medication.
To free up capacity in our services, we encourage you to consider postponing your routine appointments this week.
To help reduce the burden at After Hours facilities during this extremely bust time, we encourage all of our patients to contact Silverstream Health Centre when we have our highest level of staffing (between weekdays 9am and 5pm).
We will not be making face-to-face booking for the following non-urgent appointments:
Routine nurse appointments e.g. smears/wart treatment/ear syringes/blood pressure checks
Scripts will be faxed to your pharmacy to reduce person to person contact so you will need to let us know your normal pharmacy.
Please do not stockpile medications. It is critical for us to maintain access to medicines across our community.
We will provide further updates on flu vaccination clinics and you can be reassured that patients at highest risk of complications from influenza will be prioritised as a matter of urgency.
We are taking these measures to try and reduce the spread of COVID-19, to protect everyone in the community and to be able to continue caring for those most vulnerable.
We know public transport is an essential service, and we’re focussed on ensuring you continue to have access to our region’s network during this time.
Listen to Scott Gallacher, General Manager for Metlink, explain the measures we are putting in place to stay one step ahead of COVID-19.

About 70 of Metlink’s 500 bus drivers are aged 70 or over and in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines, they are advised to remain at home. Less drivers means there will need to be cancellations to some services across the bus network.
We are currently looking at where cancellations will need to take place and are encouraging Metlink customers to keep up to date with service changes by checking Metlink’s website, App and Real Time Information screens.
