SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Poe

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

This week we feature Poe.

This week we feature Poe.

“Hi there, my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward to doing with my new family, especially learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information.”

Do you support lowering the speed limit on SH2 between between Remutaka Hill and Silverstream?

Do you support lowering the speed limit on SH2 between between Remutaka Hill and Silverstream?
Upper Hutt City councillor Angela McLeod​ says an immediate 80kmh restriction until the road can be made safe.
“It’s dangerous and the reason it’s dangerous is because it was never designed to be a state highway,” McLeod said. “It was always going to be an arterial route, a bypass for Upper Hutt, and so over the years things have changed as the traffic numbers have increased and it’s become more dangerous.”
In January it was reported there had been 48 deaths between River Road and Kaitoke, north of Upper Hutt, since 1987.

Remember now that we are in Alert Level 2, the rules have changed a bit.
Here’s what you need to know:
◼️ Face coverings are legally required for everyone 12 years and older.
◼️ Standing isn't allowed on services. Staff won't allow people onto services if they don't believe space is available, so plan ahead and be patient with operators.
◼️ Check in as soon as you board the service.
◼️ Stay home if you're sick. Sitting directly next to someone is allowed. Be mindful that drivers may not stop to collect passengers if all seats are occupied. Dedicated school bus services are exempt from the no standing requirement.

Our Covid 19 Response

Michael from Trentham

One Govt MP has a bet of a case of wine that 90% of New Zealanders who qualify will be fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and its variants by Xmas.
I think he will win. And this will put us at number one in the world for percentage of population vaccinated.

One Govt MP has a bet of a case of wine that 90% of New Zealanders who qualify will be fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and its variants by Xmas.
I think he will win. And this will put us at number one in the world for percentage of population vaccinated.

Then in early in the new year, a second and maybe third booster vaccinations will be programmed.

Internal and international Covid vaccination "passports" will be available for everyone who have been properly vaccinated and they will be required for entry to many places and events.
