Are you ready?
Hey there neighbours, it’s Catherine from Marlborough Civil Defence and Emergency Management here. It’s national Get Ready Week, and the theme this year is ‘Stay Safe Stay Informed’.
As it’s school holidays, how about having a ‘quick quiz’ with your kids about the ways you can be informed in an emergency? Get the family to pack a ‘grab bag’ in ten minutes (my grab bag has chocolate in it as well as all the recommended stuff!)
There are lots of ways to stay informed and also keep in contact with people who are important to you (hint: you’re using one now). If you’re out and about, keep your eyes open for displays and information, and if you want to know more, hop on the Marlborough District Council’s website or Facebook page, or one of the other sites below.
Get Ready Week is a partnership with Bunnings, Neighbourhood Support, Stadium 2000 and the Picton Library – thanks to them all for helping out.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16% ... It is complicated
Dehorners
SharpAs Tool Tips
Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.
Good to see that pain relief is now part of the process as well.
If you have tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items that need sharpening or repair, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sundays
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.
Cheers,
