⚠️IMPORTANT UPDATE⚠️
It is with a heavy heart that we need to let you know we will be closing the pharmacy on Saturdays effective immediately. (This Saturday 8th closure was preplanned and advertised in advance). This comes about due to an acute shortage of Pharmacists and Technicians Industry wide. Despite every single effort to recruit, pleas of help to our governing bodies and powers that be, we are currently are 2.5 members of the dispensary team down which has a huge impact on the rest of us.
In order to preserve the awesome team we have and the awesome job we do, we have decided that shutting on a Saturday is the best temporary solution. Other pharmacies in Wellington have been forced to close outright. There is light at the end of our tunnel as we await the return of one of our superstars caught up in the MIQ system and due back late Feb. We're all very excited for this! 🎉We know this will inconvenience some of you and we are truly sorry for this. Please call us and we can hatch a plan together to get you sorted on a week day.
Please share this in any way you can to friends and family that may visit us on Saturdays. We absolutely value all your loyalty and support, please be patient, please stick with us and thank you so very much for your understanding.

Proposed parking meters down Main Road, Tawa
Copied from a Facebook post: Your Voice Counts On The Proposal For Paid Parking
Wellington City Council (WCC) have opened their consultation on the Long-Term Plan. This runs from Friday 12 April to midnight Sunday 12 May 2024. It is advised that you read the consultation document as it covers important decisions on Water, Waste, Investments and other key proposals, one of which is a proposal to introduce paid parking in the suburbs. You can find further information and a submission form here: www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz...... Please remember to be kind in your submissions – councillors are more likely to respond to positive and well-defined responses. Tawa Business Group has heard plenty of people who are strongly against introducing paid parking and we want to make sure that WCC hears your voices too. These stories may help you with your submission.
• These are already difficult times with the high cost of living and an increasing number of local redundancies, this is an extra charge that people cannot afford.
• The suburbs should not be subsidising the income shortfall from removing car parks in the CBD. Money raised in the suburbs should be used for local investment.
• Tawa has a different demographic than the CBD. Many older and less able people rely on the services that the suburb provides and being able to park easily and directly outside their destination is important for them being able to leave their homes and reduce feelings of isolation.
• The proposal for paid parking does not follow the 2020 Parking policy that says that paid parking will be introduced if occupancy is often over 85%, turnover is low and non-compliance is high.
Our three Northern ward Councillors all voted against the proposal in February but they lost on a vote of 10:7. Councillors changed their minds about reducing hours in swimming pools and libraries so they can change their minds about this too BUT only if you submit your feedback. The more submissions we make, the less likely it is to happen.
Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
