Covid in Tahunanui – What a Surprise.

Tony from Tahunanui

Unlike Pohara and other campgrounds Tahunanui campground did not require vaccination passes. Now they are asking everyone there between January 30 and February 5 to get tested as a camper has been found positive.
Tahuna Beach Holiday Park chief executive David Pattinson has today cheerfully announced the campground had been “taking all precautions, and some” since the Christmas break and “we are following Ministry of Health guidelines to the letter at this point”.

Note ‘at this point’ rather than ‘right from the start’.

Beforehand the camp had advised Stuff media that masks would be required but living nearby I can report masks were pretty well not to be seen although, now it’s too late, the camp may become a little more proactive.

I hope the camp’s laissez faire attitude to Covid (presumably preferring money to community health) has not resulted in a spreader event for all of the out of town campers or those of us lucky enough to share our town with Tahunanui camp and its managers.

Poll: Should upgraded heritage buildings reflect the different eras and updates they’ve gone through over time?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nelson City Council is working to restore the glasshouse at Broadgreen House, which has begun to crack and buckle.

We want to hear your thoughts: should heritage restoration aim to keep buildings looking as they originally did, or should it reflect the different eras and updates they’ve gone through over time?

Keen for the details? The Nelson Mail has you covered.
