An email notification from West Liquor Railside
Just in case you rush down to West Liquor Railside to stock up for the long weekend, it's closed.
Here is the reason why:
"The Trusts announce the temporary closure of West Liquor Railside, 126 Railside Avenue, Henderson.
The Trusts on behalf of Waitakere Licensing Trust today announced the temporary closure of their liquor store at 126 Railside Avenue, Henderson.
After a recent heavy rain event an inspection report was ordered and has identified potential health and safety risks in the building. Allan Pollard, CEO of The Trusts, says although the risks are low level the safety of staff and customers has been paramount.
“We apologise for inconveniencing our customers however while we investigate the issues further, we need to put health and safety first,” Mr Pollard said.
“We will take expert advice to investigate further and look at ways to mitigate the issues and open again as soon as possible,” said Mr Pollard.
All employees will be redeployed to other stores."
In my humble opinion, this wouldn't happen if we could buy alcohol from other places out West instead of the Trusts outlets - but, hey, that's just my humble opinion.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
