The Hurunui Splash project, funded by Environment Canterbury, will dig out and restore the old swimming spot at Balmoral Recreation Reserve, north of the Hurunui River bridge on State Highway 7 - and create three new swimming spots.
The project aims to provide recreational opportunities for visitors and locals, and is already bringing back fond memories for some.
Now is a good time to make a basic will, especially if you don't already have one. And here’s an online resource that makes it possible - literally NOW! For just $49.45 incl GST! So don’t wait!

MAKE A WILL! Especially if you want to include step-children or whangai, or if you have repartnered or separated, or (males) if there could be other children you don't know about or don't want to know about, or if you don't have children and don't want your distant relatives to be the beneficiaries if you and your partner are both killed in the same tragic accident....
Answer the questions, download the Word document, print it, and sign it in front of two adults who are not beneficiaries in the will. (Confession time - we are selling it, but we didn't write it. We've tried it out and it's okay although there are bits we would tweak if we were writing it from scratch.)

We now look back on the second year of recovery, its ups and downs, the great stuff, and the not so great stuff experienced throughout that time, but we acknowledge there has been a massive collective effort to assist our affected communities back to a good level of normality.

Instead of encouraging people to be overly cautious during the silly season, we wanted to share our injury prevention tips in a more interesting way.
Based on the traditional Christmas song we all know and love, we created a video series featuring 12 weird and not so wonderful injuries we saw from last Christmas, and tips on how to avoid them!
Give our 12 Days of ACC Christmas video series a watch. From everyone at ACC we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Council will trial phasing the traffic lights on Bealey Ave so traffic gets a clear run down the length of the street, to reduce noise from things like stopping and accelerating, revving and burn-outs.
Do you think this will stop boy racers from revving loudly? Tell us in the comments below (please write NFP if you don't want your comments published).
