This work is expected to take about two weeks to complete and to cause as little nuisance as possible to retailers and shoppers the work will take place between 5pm and 10pm.

There will be no parking in Leith Place between 5pm and 10pm so if you park in the Leith Place car park, please make sure your car is out by 4.30pm - just to be safe.

Pedestrians will still have access to the Leith Place shops during works - though at times there may be restrictions. We will let you know when this is the case.

We are sad to say goodbye to our trees, but exciting times are ahead for the Tokoroa CBD! Council would like to thank our community for their patience during this project.

Falling over isn’t part of the aging process

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.
