Level 3 update

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Here's the quick update on Council services and facilities at Alert Level 3.

Although level 3 has lifted some restrictions, we still need to be vigilant to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (and avoid going back to Alert level 4).

Our focus is still on essential services and supporting the community. However, work that can be done while meeting COVID-19 health and safety guidelines will resume. That means:

🌻Maintenance and mowing will resume.

👷‍♀️Work on some projects will resume.

🚗We won't be collecting parking fees for now. But please, park safely and considerately.

👨‍👧‍👦Playgrounds and are still closed

⛰ Mauao is still closed. This includes the base track.

🚧Matapihi Bridge is still closed.

🗑Transfer station is closed to the public (working on it)

Also:

🏄‍♀️You can go surfing and swimming if you can already surf/swim.

🙋‍♀️You still need to maintain a 2m safe distance from others🙋‍♂️

❤️Keep being kind and considerate to each other.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
