Voluntary Drivers Community Transport
Happy Birthday - It’s our 1st Birthday!
Māpua Willing Wheels are celebrating their first birthday, having been operational since August 2020. The need for reliable and affordable transport for Māpua and Districts residents was highlighted in the 2019 Residents Community Wellbeing Survey. The fact that the team of volunteer drivers are still going strong a year later shows the demand is there, with many requests coming from repeat customers. The service has been very warmly and positively received and the Wheels team are thrilled to have the support of many local businesses through sponsorship and displaying of their posters. The volunteers have enjoyed meeting new people and being of service to residents in their community. The service is available to anyone that needs it……

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
