These are just few of many messages conveyed by the Hastings District Council after New Zealand suddenly plunged into Alert Level 4 at 11.59pm on Tuesday night.
The council’s essential services were still operating during lock-down, but other restrictions and closures were in place in line with Ministry of Health guidelines.
Hastings mayor Sandra Hazlehurst said council was well-prepared for any shift in alert levels, and ready to respond to keep people safe.
“Although it’s disappointing to be back in this situation again, all of our teams are working hard to keep essential services operating and help our community get through this,” she said.
All council facilities were shut, including public toilets, public drinking water fountains and chlorine-removed taps.
Kerbside waste collections were still running as normal, but the transfer stations and rural recycling stations were closed, except for essential workers.
All playgrounds were closed, but parks and reserves remained open for people to walk and exercise in, but they were asked to follow the advice to wear masks, stay two metres apart, remain at home if they feel unwell, and not take part in any activities that could result in injury requiring emergency help.
Council’s Lyndon Road customer service centre was closed to the public, but the team will be responding to enquiries.
The Animal Control Centre was also closed to the public and officers, only responding to call-outs where there was a “threat to public safety or livestock”.
“The best thing we can all do right now is stick to the health advice which is keeping us safe.
“Once again, we need to look out for each other, be kind and keep to the government guidelines to stay safe and do what we can together so we can get back to normal as soon as possible,” Hazlehurst said.
The Hawke’s Bay Regional Council said the GoBay bus services had moved to a Saturday timetable, with the addition of the regular routes.
Council said GoBay services would be available for essential service workers, and for communities to access supermarkets, pharmacies and health facilities in accordance with Government directions.
Face coverings were mandatory on all public transport services, with council asking travellers to bring their own mask and put it on before boarding.
Fares would remain in place across the region, but cash handling will be removed.

My son has lost his favourite cap, possibly accidentally picked up at Clive Pools last Tuesday.
It’s an orange All Blacks Legends cap, with blue decals. He’s had it since he was 5 and we can’t replace it. It’s faced since this photo was taken, but still very recognisable.

TLDR: We need to demand a referendum on three waters for Hawkes Bay.
Edit: STATUS UPDATE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE COMMENTS.
I can't find anything on Neighbourly so I have made this post to discuss the three waters proposal.
Under the proposal all of the Hawkes Bay water assets and control will pass to another organisation "Three Waters" which will be controlled by Wellington bureaucrats. This is being pushed through urgently by central Government, and local councils are being offered a one time financial incentive to sign up to the process. If this is such an important issue then why is it being rushed? Should we not take a considered approach so that we are all fully informed and aware of any consequence of such a significant change? I see the four HB councils have already agreed to stage 1. Where was our say in this matter? Does commitment to stage 1 mean it is already too late for Hawkes Bay to not be part of three waters?
What we are not being told is how much the new organisation will cost ratepayers. The Westland mayor recently put out a video on YouTube suggesting ratepayers will face a bill of around $1,600 per annum for water. It will be a cold day in hell our rates from local council will fall by $1,600. So this is going to cost all of us - ratepayers and tenants.
We are also not being told how this organisation will be run and what it means for local ratepayers with local issues. Do we want Wellington to control our water assets? I say let's vote on the matter.
I am not a legal expert but I also question the legality of this process. Can a council transfer water assets to an entity that is not a council without undertaking a referendum?
Where is the media coverage on this issue? I suspect the media are very quiet on this issue given they are receiving money to run advertisements on the three waters PR campaign. It's no wonder we are hearing nothing from the media.
We must demand a referendum from our councillors. This is too big a decision to be rushed. Furthermore, the ratepayers who have paid for the assets should have a say in the future of those assets. We must not rely on councillors and media who are selling our water assets for 30 pieces of silver.
