Sandbag amnesty- help us build our raised wicking beds
You have too many sandbags? You want them to have a hood use when you no longer want them?
We need sand to build our raised self-wicking community garden.
If you have lots of bags to donate we may be able to come and pick them up.
If you have just a few we would love if you could drop them off at the Gribblehirst Hub, 5 Cabbage Tree Swamp Drive (go past the Rugby Club, simply drop off inside the chain in the left hand corner.
Pls mark them with a C if they have been subjected to contaminated water and we’ll sanitise/solarise the sand before using it.
Pls contact coordinator@ghub.nz for more information. Thanks for your support.
Here’s a photo of how we use it.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
