The masked investigators

The Team from Wellington Water

200 meters off-road a stormwater sump overflows and makes a public walking track impassable.

A call goes out.

That call is answered. Tools are carried into the hills of Belmont, the sump cleared of blocked silt, and the track made safe again.

The masked investigators strike again.

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
