Lets take care of each other.
Hi All,
Lets take care of each other. This is a very different time. Let's make it as good as we can for each other.
Our Council has a Help Desk. To call it, the number is: 04 4994444
There is also a great Fix it App for your phone. It can be downloaded.
The Covid 19 website is the most important place to get information.

They have a helpline on 0800 779 997 (8am–1am, 7 days a week).
There are people who are there to help, if need be. We also have our wonderful Student Army out and about, if required.
I'll be posting items of interest and information on my Facebook too.

my email is simon.woolf@wcc.govt.nz
Please eat healthily, and keep fit during this time.
So lets take care of each other, be sensible, and we will get through this together.

Summer on the South Coast
Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
