I’m inviting you to a Friendly Forum and seeking your views

It is a privilege to represent you in Parliament, and as your local MP I am always keen to hear your views and ideas.

As you may know I regularly host Friendly Forums in Tokoroa and other parts of the electorate. This provides me with an opportunity to meet with you face to face, to hear your thoughts and concerns, and to share information on matters of interest. Following the recent restrictions of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, I am particularly keen to catch up with you and to hear how you have been faring during these extraordinary and difficult times.

I would like to personally invite you to my next forum in Tokoroa.

Date: Friday 14 August 2020
Time: 10.00am – 11.30am
Venue: Te Rakaunui Room, Community Link, 8 - 10 Torphin Crescent, Tokoroa
RSVP: Angie Hendricks on (07) 886 5554 or upston.sthwaikato@parliament.govt.nz

Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, the venue only allows a maximum of 15 attendees so RSVPs are essential to avoid disappointment.

I have also enclosed a survey for you to complete and return so that I can better understand what is important to you, and can best represent you in Parliament. Your opinions are important to me.

I hope you can make it along to the Friendly Forum and look forward to seeing you.

Sincerely


Louise Upston
Member of Parliament for Taupō

Hi neighbours,

On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced there were four new Covid-19 cases in the community.

Auckland moved into level 3 at midday on Wednesday, and the rest of the country into level 2.

Kiwis outside of Auckland can still continue to go to work and school, with physical distancing, and are advised to wear masks in public.

Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which includes physical distancing and record keeping.

In terms of gatherings, New Zealanders must not travel to events with more than 100 people. This includes weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.

The Government advises all Kiwis to practise good hygiene and stay home if sick.
