Covid-19: Lockdown confusion north of Auckland as Kaipara mayor calls for clarity from Government

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi Kaipara neighbours,

Hi Kaipara neighbours,

Read this story by reporter Lucy Xia about confusion over the lockdown boundaries in Kaipara:

Kaipara mayor Jason Smith is urging residents of Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Oneriri to follow alert level 3 restrictions, despite saying the government is yet to confirm whether those areas fall within the level 3 boundary.

Smith said the Kaipara district has not been given clear guidelines by the government and it’s causing confusion over whether the community is part of the Auckland lockdown or not.

Auckland has entered level three until Wednesday night after three new community Covid-19 cases. The rest of the country is at level 2.

Roadblocks will be placed along Auckland's borders preventing all but essential travel in and out of the region in alert level 3.

Roadblocks will be placed along Auckland's borders preventing all but essential travel in and out of the region in alert level 3.

Smith said he was informed by local police around 8pm last night of roadblocks north of Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Oneriri, which means these regions should be under alert level 3.

Smith said they have requested clarification from the Ministry of Health and are still waiting for an answer.

The mayor said he is “extremely concerned” for the residents of these districts which make up half of Kaipara’s population.

Smith said in the meanwhile he is urging locals to remain at alert level 3, while the Kaipara District Council has closed its office for the day with staff working from home.

“I know the government has many priorities, but they need to be clear about changes of the alert level borders

“It could be handled better...so people could be aware in advance,” he said.

The Ministry of Health has been approached for comment.

Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Hey neighbours! Are you aware that the asbestos in your roofing, ceiling, cladding, floors, or fences – when disturbed – may be hazardous to your health?

You will be surprised at how many people die each year from mesothelioma, the aggressive type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Most people who get this disease have been exposed to airborne asbestos particles either in the home or in the workplace and eventually developed lung cancer or other respiratory issues later in life.

Chemcare is committed to eliminating asbestos in New Zealand homes and buildings.

Once you have confirmed the presence of disturbed asbestos or asbestos-containing materials in your property, you can use our asbestos calculator to get an estimate of how much it would cost to have it removed, then call us to get a no-obligation quote to complete the job.

Be safe, be sure.

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 12/02/21 - 12/03/21

Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as the last treatment option for bunions.

At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.

Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250.
