How one neighbourhood is waking up from ‘lockdown coma’

After months of strict lockdown measures, residents of the Oakwood neighbourhood are finally starting to emerge from their ‘lockdown coma’.

With restrictions easing and vaccinations on the rise, the community is slowly returning to some semblance of normalcy.

Local businesses that were forced to close their doors are now starting to reopen, and residents are once again frequenting their favorite cafes and shops.

Parks are once again filled with children playing and families enjoying picnics in the sunshine.

Neighbours are reconnecting with one another, swapping stories of how they coped during the long months of isolation.

Community events are being planned once again, bringing back the sense of togetherness that was sorely missed during lockdown.

While the memories of lockdown will not soon be forgotten, the neighbourhood is looking towards the future with hope and optimism.

As they slowly but surely return to normal life, the Oakwood community is grateful for the strength and resilience they have shown throughout this challenging time.

Together, they are waking up from their ‘lockdown coma’ and embracing a brighter tomorrow.
