Hi neighbours,

The clock is ticking (and no, we're not referring to the Christmas countdown!) - single-use plastic bags will be out of circulation from July 1, 2019.

All retailers, ie not just supermarkets, will no longer be able to sell or give away single-use plastic shopping bags after this date. To read more, click here.

Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?

Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

It’s easy to check the water quality of your favourite spot before you head out because Council’s recreational bathing sampling programme is underway, with weekly samples collected from 21 sites across Marlborough. Testing continues until March.

In summer the risk of catching an infectious disease from swimming in clear, clean water is usually low. However, after heavy rain, contamination can occur. As a rule of thumb, don't swim if the water looks dirty or murky, smells or has scum on its surface.

You can check the latest results for Marlborough’s favourite swimming spots on the Land and Water Aotearoa website
