Poll: Should all Auckland shops be allowed to trade on Easter Sunday?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Restrictions on trading over Easter have frustrated Auckland retailers desperate for business in the wake of four Covid-19 lockdowns.

Restrictions on trading over Easter have frustrated Auckland retailers desperate for business in the wake of four Covid-19 lockdowns.

Only shops selling certain goods can legally trade on Easter Sunday, and those breaching conditions can be fined up to $1000.

But Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says critics have left it too late, as the process to change trading rules can take over a year.

Local government has had the power to rule on whether retailers can open on Easter Sunday since the National government passed the responsibility down in 2016.

Prior to this, only shops that sell necessities, such as dairies, service stations, and pharmacies, were given exemptions to trade.

Thirty-nine of the country’s 67 councils have created bylaws to date allowing retailers to open if they want, but Auckland, Wellington, and other major centres remain opposed.

Newmarket Business Association chief executive Mark Thomas said the restrictions are “ridiculous and out of date”.

“There are so many discrepancies in the law it seems a bit ludicrous,” he said.

During Easter, you want to enjoy the activities, but it’s essential to protect your dental health. With a bit of foresight, you can enjoy sweet treats without spoiling your smile.However, foods to completely avoid with braces include:popcornnutsicechewing gumhard candychewy candypizza crustbagels and other hard rollscrunchy vegetables and fruitshard crackerspretzelschipsWhenever you eat something sugary, it feeds bacteria in your mouth, allowing them to produce acid that weakens and damages your tooth enamel, eventually causing cavities. So, while the occasional sweet treat is OK, limit yourself to only a few sugary foods and beverages a week.Above all, make sure you take the time to brush your teeth thoroughly twice daily or more frequently as possible and floss at least once each day.What can we do to make you smile?Enjoy your long Happy Easter WeekendClaudia, Lutz & Team

I AM HOPE is one of The MaGik in ME's companions and we walk beside them as they walk beside us and others. We support each companion individually as well as together.

The youth are the future and all of us need to make it a safe and happy place, a place where there is no judgment, no bullying, no harassment, no intimidation... a place where there is kindness, understanding, and support. For this to happen, we need to have people in place that can and are able help and support our youth in need. To do that, in this day and age, we need money to make this support and help available in the form of counselling.

Please, book a photoshoot with us and help us to help make difference to the youth needing help and support. In 2020 GUMBOOT FRIDAY did not happen due to lock-down from Covid-19. SO let's make this one bigger and better than ever. Let's show that we DO REALLY CARE!
