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.

Releasing water

The Team from Wellington Water

This may look like a waste of water, but it’s sometimes better to release a little bit out rather than turn off water to the whole street.

Here we have Water Serviceperson Rapata replacing a broken toby. Rather than turning off the water, he diverted the flow away from the affected house for a … View more

Today is day two of Level 2, which brings welcomed relief to some businesses and relaxes some of the strict social requirements that we have been accustomed to!
An update on what we will be doing in Level 2 includes:
~ We still will expect our customers and staff to maintain a 2 mtr physical distance as best as possible. Our team will happily move to the side if you are needing to get to a shelf, please kindly ask for them to move as they may not see you waiting. 😊
~ We still ask that you queue at a safe distance from the customer in front of you at the Checkout. Your Operator will sanitise the trolley handle and eftpos keypad after each customer. 🧼
~ Please allow your Operator to pack your goods into the trolley. Once your transaction is complete, we invite you to pack your bags at the packing bench (or car). This will allow for a smooth transition between customers. 🛒
~ We will still be controlling entry. Please be patient whilst queuing - we will get you in the store as quickly as possible. Emergency Workers will still have priority access to the store upon sight of appropriate ID. We appreciate kindness here. 💛⛑
~ We will still maintain a "one person, one trolley" requirement. Whilst we understand that some parents need to bring in their children, we would appreciate that they are close to mum or dad throughout the duration of the visit. 👩‍👦
~ Our Sanitising Station will remain in place at the front entrance and we encourage our customers to use it on entry and exit. Our Cleaning Regime has not changed since Level 4 - we will still ensure our trolleys and other high touch points throughout the store are sanitized regularly. 🧹
~ Please take note of the 2mtr distance markers around the Seafood and Service Deli. Live Mussels will continue to be served for you. Our Bulk Foods and loose Bakery items will continue to be prepackaged. 🐠🐬
~ Welcome back to our Lotto team! Please validate your own tickets via the Ticket Checker that is situated next to the Shop n Go cradles and please only present a winning ticket to the operator. Unfortunately you are unable to scratch Instant Kiwi tickets instore.
~ Rug Doctor is also back up and running! Please note that all handles and other high touch points will ne sanitised prior to you checking it out and again upon its return to store.
We appreciate your support as we work towards getting back to some normality! And as always, we thank you for keeping our team safe! 🥰
See you soon!
Stay safe, be kind and #shopsafely 💛🖤💛🖤
