Hey all,
We have been hosting the COVID Vaccination Clinic in Kilbirnie for the past 4 and a bit weeks, with the plan to go until sometime in January 2022. However, with the good also brings the bad, and this morning we were hit with our 3rd defacing of property.
I am all good with 'Freedom of Speech' but when doing so, please don't deface property that costs tax payers and rate payers to remove the paint.
The first incident happened on August 2nd, followed by August 14th and then todays incident (August 24th)
Please review the images below and please if you know these people, advise them on the right way to get their message across, and also advise them that this mornings incident would not have been classed as an Essential Service, or an Essential Needs, or anything Essential, based on that, not only are they breaking the law by defacing property, but they are also breaking the law by being out at that time. Also, if you know these people, please ask them to stop doing what they are doing, as I have now submitted these images to the Police, and the Police would like to speak with them

Please don't put out your glass crates

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

Kia ora koutou,

Just a wee reminder that glass will NOT be collected while we are in Level 4.

The Delta variant is highly transmissible, and glass recycling is predominantly bottles which may carry saliva residue.

Please do not put your glass crate out for now 💚

All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

Lockdown and birthdays are two words that do not go well together.
Children love celebrating their birthday but with social distancing and bubbles birthday parties are no go under lockdown.
When Emery Maclean​ set out on her morning lockdown walk with mum Abby Vogel​ and big sister Avah​ she quickly realised this one was extra special.
Within minutes the 4-year-old spotted a collection of balloons tied to a gate – and the shocked girl was told by her mum they were for her birthday.
It is lovely to see neighbours pitching in to help the youngster. If you have a birthday or a especial anniversary (wedding, 21st etc), have you thought about how you are going to celebrate it?
