If you have missed the collection or your bag is too heavy to be collected you can take it to the dump yourself at no charge.

If you have missed the collection or your bag is too heavy to be collected you can take it to the dump yourself at no charge. Or if you have several that you want to get rid of at once you can do the same. This is not so if there is only wheelie bin collection as in Chch. You can't take any black rubbish bags to the dump there. I, for one, want to retain the independence of being able to dispose of my bags when it suits me.

The speed indicating device, as it is officially known, is the second for Amberley and was put in on State Highway 1 at the southern end of the township last month. It follows the installation of another sign at the northern end of the town about 10 years ago.

The trial, starting on Thursday (February 14), is a joint initiative by the Cancer Society, the Canterbury District Health Board and the Hanmer Springs Community Board, with support from the Hurunui District Council.
Cancer Society health promotion adviser Cheryl Ford says people are already asked not to smoke in the town's parks, playgrounds and reserves.
The trial will add to that initiative by encouraging people to keep key public spaces such as the main street, Amuri Ave and Conical Hill Rd both smokefree and vapefree.

Time has come for our community/district to decide what it is we would like to see happen with the cement silo's. BDC has considered various option's and negotiated with the owners on our behalf to no avail. We as a community need to have our say and input now our elect representatives have walked away from any deal. The silo's remain an iconic part of our town and waterfront and we should consider possible use's and negotiate to retain ownership before they are reduced to rubble. Is it to late, "NO WAY" and would welcome feedback from all camps with the view to calling a public meeting within the next week. Ideas and thoughts, [positive and negative] can be posted on Neighbourly or directed to me at prscafe@xtra.co.nz. Lets make something awesome happen, thats what coaster do. !!!!!!!!
