Tawa area rail works over December-January
KiwiRail have asked us to share some information about their Xmas Works Schedule.
KiwiRail will carry out maintenance work on the rail line near Melville Street, Oxford Street and Duncan Street during December and the Christmas period - specifically for the Tawa area, around the track crossover points just south of Tawa station, and at the Collins Ave level crossing area.
They plan to complete the activities in daytime hours, on the following dates:
9 – 13 December
15 – 20 December
26 December – 6 January 2019
If you have any queries about this work, we encourage you to contact KiwiRail: 04 474 2332 or email Grant.Burton@kiwirail.co.nz
For part of this work the Wellington Metro kapiti line will be Shut Down for the period Dec 26th - Jan 06 2019.
During the Shut Down there will be a bus replacement service operating - details of which are posted at each rail station.
Please treat tracks as operational as normal at all times and observe normal non access of track areas.
Fireworks
People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
