It's finally happening...
If you've driven along State Highway 25 recently then you will have seen for yourself that work has finally started on the footpath to the east of the boat ramp. The contractors have now commenced their Xmas break, like all of us, and work will recommence sometime in the new year.
Medical News
The Mercury Bay Medical Centre would like to inform the community that as of April 1st 2020 they will merge with The Doctors Surgery and operate from both sites.
They are committed to making the transition process as smooth as possible for patients, and alongside Dr Hemmes and Dr Adams, continue to offer patients excellent care.
The Mercury Bay Medical Centre has also been trialling GP clinics at the new Happy Hub in Kuaotunu for patients who live in Matarangi, Kuaotunu, Whangapoua and surrounding areas. To date these clinics have been well received. It is hoped to continue these in 2020 and they will be advertised on the centre's Facebook page and website.
Congratulations...
Steph's Solzinc product was one of the only 8 out of 20 products tested by Consumer NZ that met the claims on the label.
Another great success story from our wee community!

Civil Defence Questionnaire
If you haven't filled in your questionnaire online yet, you can complete the paper version which should have arrived in your letterbox this week. This can be placed in the Civil Defence dropbox at the Kuaotunu Store when completed.
Participation is optional, however the more information we have, the more effective our community response to any emergency event can be.
If you have any questions you are welcome to contact the local questionnaire co-ordinator, Carolyn Gibbs, on 021 2163 255.
