Our doors are open under Covid Alert Level 2

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

Nau mai haere mai and welcome back!

We are thrilled to let you know that the Te Awamutu Museum is open at Alert Level 2 from 10am to 4pm Mon - Fri and 10am - 2pm Sat.

Taking care of our community at Alert Level 2

Visitors will be asked to scan our QR code when they enter, or provide their name and contact details to staff if they cannot use the QR code. It is a Government requirement that you keep a record of where you have been (at all Alert Levels) so contact tracing can happen quickly in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak.

While visiting Te Awamutu Museum, you'll need to maintain two-metre physical distancing from other people. To make sure we can keep visitors at a safe distance as they move through the Museum, numbers will be limited to a total of 10 inside the Museum at one time with other limits on specific galleries.

Government requirements mean that it is mandatory for staff and visitors to wear a face covering in public areas at Te Awamutu Museum. This is to keep you, your whānau, and the community safe.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Wild weather in the Waikato

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.

While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?

Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.
