September is the start of the riding season, which means the number of motorbike riders on our roads will double. Marlborough District Council is joining ACC to encourage drivers and riders to look out for each other on the road.

Last year 46 motorcyclists were killed and 7,372 motorcyclists received treatment and support from ACC. The cost of motorcycle-related claims was more than $94 million, but the real cost is to the rider, their families and their friends.

29 motorcyclists have already been killed on the roads this year.

Hi neighbours,

Did you hear a "sonic boom" and see an object flying across the Canterbury sky? Many residents witnessed a suspected meteor this week.

The burning rock was at least the size of a fist – much larger than what astronomers usually see above New Zealand. Usually the objects are about the size of a grain of sand.

The arrival of a meteor can be impressive, with even something pebble-sized lighting up in the sky, Canterbury Astronomical Society president Euan Mason says.

So what did you think of the meteor? Where were you when you saw it? And do you see them often from your place? Let us know in the replies!
