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.

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
