AQUATICS OPENING HOURS TO CHANGE

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

With active cases of Omicron isolating in Kāpiti, we’re making some temporary changes to our pool opening hours, classes and facilities on offer to minimise the need to close our doors if we have staff isolating at home.

From Monday 14 February our Aquatics team will be split into two bubbles. This will give us the best chance of keeping our pools open should one of our Aquatics team return a positive COVID-19 test. You can read the full story here – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Here’s a summary of the changes:

? Coastlands Aquatic Centre will be closed between 12noon and 3pm and at the earlier time of 8.30pm Monday to Friday. Weekend hours are 8am to 3.30pm. The programmes pool will be closed to the public at all times.

? Waikanae Pool will open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm, with the toddler pool only available on weekends.

? Ōtaki Pool will be open from 11.00am–6.00pm Tuesday to Friday, from 8am–3pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Please check out our website for changes to our Aquafit class timetable and a full list of services on offer – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We understand these changes are not ideal, but please be kind to our staff and mask, scan and pass when requested. ?

Noho ora mai Kāpiti, stay well.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
