Town Centre businesses collectively make up the heart of our towns across the district. The Kaipara Mayor’s Taskforce for Economic Support and Recovery (www.kaipara.govt.nz/taskforce) is hosting a series of meetings with local town centre businesses on the online meeting platform Zoom. We invite you to join us (on Zoom) on Thursday 14 May at 7pm to share your experiences as a town centre business in Kaiwaka during the Covid 19 lockdown and what recovery might look like for you. The agenda is very open and will be led by you and your fellow business owners and operators. But to guide your thinking leading up to the meeting and to generate some early ideas for the discussion we would be grateful if you were able to complete this very short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VYW7CPD

From Council you can expect to see the Mayor Jason Smith, Deputy Mayor Anna Curnow and local ward Councillors. The intention is to continue to host these sessions for as long as they are useful. We also envisage this being a way to connect you with agencies who can do more to support and inform you. But how this unfolds will be entirely guided by you and what your community wants. Kaiwaka Can will be distributing the full announcement and details on the Zoom link early next week. We encourage you to watch the video clip about the taskforce on the site above.

It is reassuring to hear how well our country has done at minimising the impacts CUTS of COVID-19. Alert Levels 4 and 3 have not been easy and I thank you for your ongoing support for the work we are doing. Today, the Prime Minister advised that in Alert Level 2 schools are safe and environments for children, young people and staff and that additional public health control measures are in place to prevent the spread of disease and to support contact tracing. MORE The good news is that when we are able to, we will be ready to welcome all 1758 Cove Road students and staff back to our school site. The key Public Health approach is to minimise the risk that someone gets Open Monday-Saturday infected in the first place, and second to ensure we can identify and contact by appointment only anyone who has been in close contact with a person, if someone in a school is infected. Saturday 9-12pm As we have done in Alert Level 3, you can be assured that in Alert Level 2 we will know who is at school, who our staff and students have been in close Affordable prices: contact with and take appropriate measures to keep everyone safe. Ladies cuts from $35 Physical distancing is a good precaution to prevent the spread of disease. We do however know it is challenging in schools, so good hygiene practices and Colours from $120 regular cleaning are even more important here. This includes staff and students Men’s from$25 coughing into their elbows, handwashing and drying and regular cleaning of Kids from $18 commonly touched surfaces. Under Alert Level 2, we advise any students and staff to stay at home if they are sick, and we will send anyone home immediately if they show any symptoms. 0211652629 Our school has safe and sensible practices to maintain the health and safety of everyone on the school site. As described by Dr Payinda in his NZ Herald article, “Covid’s not measles or chickenpox, it doesn’t hang in the air for hours waiting to infect passers-by. It travels on invisible drops of spit. You don’t have ST PAUL’S to cross the street to avoid anyone. Just avoid getting in their ‘moist breath’ ANGLICAN zone”. We all just need to remember to have some breathing space at Alert Level 2! SUNDAY SERVICES It’s important however that not just at school but at home, safe hygiene habits are practised by everyone, as this is essential to minimise the risk that someone gets infected with Covid-19.
