Clear leaves away from stormwater drains before heavy rain

The Team from Wellington Water

Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding 🌧🍂

So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.

Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding 🌧🍂

So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.

You can help to reduce the amount of flooding by giving the drains in your street or on your property a sweep every now and then.

Easter weekend is looking a bit wet, so while you’re at home during this lockdown, why not get out and clear leaves and rubbish from on and around stormwater sumps?

Like everyone else the Residents Association activities have been totally disrupted by the Level 4 lockdown in response to COVID-19. Our April meeting will not be happening but you will find the March meeting minutes attached. I wish to assure you that we will continue to engage with other parties and organisations in the meantime to progress those items we can, in particular the Safety Issues discussed at the March meeting. Hopefully all goes to plan and the lockdown achieves the desired results, in which case we will see you in May!
Until then please take very good care of yourself and whanau and I encourage you to make the most of the opportunity to get to know your neighbours better, from a safe distance of course! We have seen many examples of wonderful kindness and compassion on the news and social media. If there is something good to come out of all of this hopefully it will be the strengthening of these virtues in all of us and this will carry on into the post COVID-19 future.

All the very best,

Karl Frost
President

We are so happy to be welcoming an incredible new partner to Neighbourly - joining our long-term friends AMI, Resene and Ryman Healthcare.

Pet Direct are the new kids on the pet block and know the industry inside-out; they have over 350 dog years of animal experience within their team. Most importantly right now, they're still delivering all your essential items during the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Pet Direct team do things differently; firstly they ALL have pets of their own. They also personally hand-pick every product they stock; they have over 5,000 items that have been tried and tested (but mostly eaten). They ship daily, from their Auckland-based warehouse, straight to your doorstep (with free delivery over $29), and offer a best price guarantee.

Neighbours - our pets remain a constant source of love and comfort during unsettling times. So show them (and the team at Pet Direct) how special they are. To say thanks for the support (and for being a good neighbour during this tough time), they're offering you 10% off their already awesome prices. Just use the code NEIGHBOURLY10 at checkout.
