Always plenty of litter to pick up
Volunteers from Litter
Free Ashburton never fail
to find plenty of discarded
litter when they carry out
regular clean ups around
town.
Volunteersmeet on the
second Thursday of the
month at 1.30pm at the
Chess Board on East
Street and head off in
groups to pick uprubbish.
Last week’s collection
took inpart of the CBD,
the area around both ends
of the Tinwald Bridge,
and Dobson Street West
down tothe bike park.
Lending a hand were
regular collectors and a
couple of newcomers.
Dressed in highvis vests
and with gloves on, the
collectors trawl their
Volunteers from Litter Free Ashburton with rubbish collected last Thursday.
designated patch for an
hour orso, before returning
with rubbish to a
central point.
Bagged rubbish is collected
later in the day by
Ashburton council, which
disposes of it, or recycles
where possible.
Baby group friends Sienna Hoets, 8months, Frankie McKee, 9months, and
Tom Tyson, 9months, were among the babies and toddlers enjoying the
Wriggle and Read session for infants to three year olds at the Ashburton
Public Library. The session is held in the children’s section of the library
every Tuesday and continues to be ababy and toddler favourite with
impressive numbers attending for the 30-minute programme. It focuses on
fine, gross motor and balance skills using singing, dancing, musical
instruments and eye-catching displays such as bubbles.
Rangitata River
work on hold
Work has now largely
paused for atime on the
Rangitata River while
agencies agree on future
plans and on what needs
to happen to get the
scheme back up to the
pre­flooding standard.
Future works, which
may take 12­24 months,
will likely focus on reinstating
banks and vegetated
berms which are
crucial in erosion
reduction and provide
some limited protection
against overflows, says
Environment Canterbury
(ECan).
How to fund the work
is still being worked
through and it may cost
in the order of $1 million.
There will also be
conversationswith awide
range of partners and
stakeholders on what the
future of the river and
any changestothe standard
of protection may
look like.
The long term conversation
will require wide
consultation and investigation,
says ECan.
The flooding of the
Rangitata River in early
December got the
nation’s attention whenit
disconnected State Highway
One for three days.
