Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.

We are told there are four cases of Covid in Kapiti. We have known about this since last Friday, but no details have been released. All we have is two lines in the local paper.

We have known about this since last Friday, but no details have been released. All we have is two lines in the local paper. We are told by the Mayor that if we have been in a location of interest we should go get tested but no details of locations have been released. I am really disgusted. This is extremely poor management. Based on current estimates of spread, those four cases are now 32 and we have no means of knowing if we are at risk.
I'm not surprised that modellers are predicting thousands of cases if this is the way the omicron outbreak is being managed. MOH is once again asleep at the wheel.
And whose bright idea was it to set up a quarantine facility in Kapiti? 45 minutes from the nearest hospital on a good day and cut off regularly in bad weather by the fragile and slip prone coastal highway (e.g. 16/12/21, 31 /1/ 22) with over 25% of the population aged over 65 and at risk of serious illness. Are they prepared to medi-vac people out by helicopter if necessary?
Amidst the bureaucratic code of silence I also detect the distinct odor of Councils "we know what's best for you" attitude. Are they not telling anyone anything so as to avoid panic? If so, this is an ignorant approach which demeans the capability of residents. For goodness sake, stop insulting us and let us know whats going on.
If we don't have the information people will react accordingly, as they are doing in Auckland, by simply imposing their own lockdown and staying at home. Businesses in Auckland are seeing greatly reduced volume as people are too scared to venture out. The lack of information creates more fear and uncertainty, not less.

Hi
I know this is a long shot but I have a couch and a large cat tree I need to get down from Palmerston north to Upper hutt and was wondering if anyone knew of a empty truck heading this way that might be happy to bring it down. Happy to make arrangement regarding payment.
Thank you so much to the wonderful lady that donated all the quilting material and accessories, I so much appreciate that you thought of the Red Cross. Once again thank you.

Trouble is the implication of the story is that the Wallaceville Estate as one of the venues for the hooning and this developing residential housing area is at the centre of high ended noise levels and general mayhem which has residents of the estate too scared to confront the villians or take videos or photos to present to authorities.
In other word the Estate is getting bad raps.
But the truth of the matter is the spasmodic burn-outs etc are occurring on the non-residential streets on the East side of Alexander Road with Alexander Road itself open to speeding.
I spoke to Jamie Gillies on the matter and he said the reporter refused to listen to him when told that the Wallaceville Estate inner roads and streets were not the subject of these issues.
You cannot let the truth hinder a "good" story.
I emailed the UHCC about the burn-outs many months ago but am still waiting for a reply.
