The community response, however, in supporting affected residents was heartwarming. After cancelling my appointments, I met with the Chair of the Northwood Residents’ Association, local councillors and emergency staff at the temporary welfare centre set up at the Styx Mill Country Club, and checked in with residents who had come down to the centre for assistance. Well done to the local community, police, insurance representatives, council representatives, the Northwood Residents’ Association and local businesses for coming together for those residents who were evacuated.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday August 13 2019 3 News Paid back for picking up litter In Brief • By Claire Booker MARIA LAMB used to worry about being known as the “crazy lady picking up rubbish” – but winning a Keep Christchurch Beautiful award has shown her she is not alone. The awards were held last week at the Turanga library. Mrs Lamb didn’t even realise she had been nominated for an individual award until she was sifting through her ‘junk’ email folder looking for a school notice, and stumbled across the nomination. “[It’s nice to know] you’re not the only one doing this, there are other people doing their very best in their community, but I guess we don’t really know about each other,” she said. Mrs Lamb received the award for the work she does in the St Albans community. She organises exercise groups for women in the area and spends her time collecting rubbish. The exercise group provides a safe way for women in St Albans to get out and make friends. “It took a few months for people to get involved, and then others started to advertise what they were doing, and where they were exercising – it sort of just kicked off in that way,” Mrs Lamb said.

Mrs Lamb said one of the most rewarding things about collecting litter is when people she doesn’t know approach her to ask what she’s doing. “People that you don’t even know will give you compliments and say, hey, it’s really cool to see you doing that,” she said “Then other people will say, oh gosh, you’ve inspired me, if I see rubbish in the park, I’ll pick it up . . . and I just think that is so cool.” The revolution in heat pumps is here now!
