Residents at Port Waikato want to be put inside Auckland s Covid-19 borders in level 3 lockdown, as they face a 90 minute drive to supermarkets and petrol stations.
As a million people up the road wish for their lockdown to be over, residents of a Waikato beachside community have called to join Auckland s Level 3 restrictions. Port Waikato residents facing long drives and waits for necessities like supermarkets, petrol and medical supplies want to join their northern cousins to make life more simple. At present they must drive 90 minutes to Te Kauwhata or Huntly to access key services – down a difficult, unsealed road.
