Big seas and a high tide on Wednesday made a rough morning for Wellington’s South Coast. Several houses were flooded with sea water and debris washed up on the road in numerous places.

A big shout out to the essential services who came to the rescue and kept people safe, including our crews who worked to help prevent further damage to property and stop a sewer overflow from a nearby pump station.

Clean-up along the coast is ongoing, with our teams getting out to uncover buried stormwater outlets.

Dog poo on the street!!!

I hope this finds everyone well and safe in this trying time. It’s great to see so many people out walking around their neighbourhoods and enjoying the fresh air saying hello to new neighbours every day.

However this means an increase in the number of dogs out walking each day. I walk my dogs usually more than once a day and have noticed a significant rise in the number of droppings left on the footpath.

Please...if you are walking your dog, plan ahead and take bags. You can recycle any plastics bags you have...bread bags, bags food comes in etc. Don’t be the person everyone hates for not caring about anyone else. Pick it up and put it in a bin!

A BIG Shout out to Dave, our Cookie Time Rep, who donated a box of original cookies to our PaknSave Kilbirnie store team members.

I handed them out today to everyone, along with a store gift voucher to celebrate my self inspired “You are Awesome Day”

Under the leadership of Dean and Brett our staff are working extra hard to make sure the public can be safe while visiting our store, as well as making sure that as quickly as stock arrives it is put out on the shelves for purchase.

Please be kind to our staff. It’s a tough day when someone grumbles/gets angry at us. Most things are outside of our control. We are all doing the best we can inside Alert Level 4. If it takes a few extra minutes to get your shopping scanned (due to sanitising the checkout in between shoppers) then it’s because we want to ensure the conveyor belt, screen and eftpos keypad are virus free.

Please be kind to your fellow shoppers too. They are in just the same situation as you.

To those customers who thanked me today as they saw me walking around the store, I’m glad I got to give you a smile or chuckle too.
