Hoping for a miracle.

John Neighbourly Lead from Kelburn

Hi neighbours, I have an unusual request. Recently we opened a bottle of champagne - we took the wire cage off & left it on the bench. While we weren't looking the cork exploded out thus smashing one of the green lampshades which hang over the bench.

While we weren't looking the cork exploded out thus smashing one of the green lampshades which hang over the bench. Does anyone have one with which they would part please.

Please don't put out your glass crates

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.

It is a sunny style house with lots of windows and balconies. The house has 3 double bedrooms, a study, 2 bathrooms, a separate toilet room, double garage with a man cave on top and lots of storage.  Also has off street parking - which is a bonus.  It is in the zone of lots of good schools within the Wellington area. There is a garden so it would be ideal to find someone who loves gardening but not essential.  We do allow pets but they need to be well trained.  It is situated close to the Kelburn Village and the bus stops.  It is walking distance to the CBD and very close to the Botanical gardens.  It is $875 per week.  If you are interested please feel free to message me below.  Unfortunately due to Lockdown level 4 you will be unable to view this property until we drop a level. The house is empty so available as soon as the level allows us. Note house is unfurnished but whitewhare is provided.
