Don’t flush wipes, keep workers safe.

Ministry For The Environment

You might be using more wet wipes to keep your home clean, but it’s very important not to flush them afterwards.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their … View more

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.

Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

Hi there Neighbours!

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?

Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.

Happy raving NZ!

Hey guys.
Just wanted to check in with our community again in our 3rd week of lockdown. We hope you and your families are all well and managing to get the supplies you need.

Good luck to all those parents with school restarting today, our teens are online with video calls for classes so huge demand on internet. Of course there were afew teething issues today with first classes of the day but the girls are getting there and Shan has very limited time to make noise in between.

Pip our advertising dog is loving extra attention with her people home 24/7 and Otto our pup actually started crying when he was put in create the other day, like he normally would when we go out, when we went for a walk around block without him.
A little reminder CHCH Bull Rescue posted at a similar time to stick with routines with your dogs of time outside alone or in crates if that's what they would normally do so when life returns to normal they dont have separation anxiety

Remember Elusion is providing essential Electrical service cover throughout this time. This means power, heating, ovens etc. If in doubt just ring. We are happy to give out phone advise as well.

Patrick is currently out installing a new heat pump for a client who's heat pump completely died and there is no other source of heating available. I have to say after 3 weeks of little jobs only it seems very empty without him at home.

Feel free to request quotes on non urgent jobs you need doing after lock down and book in jobs. We currently have a list of jobs in order to book in once we get go ahead that non essential jobs can happen.

Keep well everybody, stay safe

Christchurch's Lynette Hartley has created a colouring-in drawing for Kiwi kids to enjoy during the coronavirus lockdown.

"I thought an activity for children with a positive message about the current situation would be a good idea. This followed my (and everyone else's) experiences during the earthquakes," she said.

"I learnt that it is important to give children a way of feeling empowered that there is a solution to the situation (in this case the bears catching the Covid virus and giving it a damn good soapy wash)."

Lynette normally works as a tour guide for Nature Quest, taking people on tours around the North and South islands with nature-related themes such as birding, general nature, plants, or walking.

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.
