200L water tanks available on Saturday 14 September
This is your invitation to buy a hot sausage outside Churton Park New World on Saturday 14 September, 11am to 1pm. Northern Ward city councillors will be cooking sausages and selling 200L emergency water tanks at the same time.
Pre-order and pre-pay if you’d like us to reserve a water tank for you. $115 each. Email malcolm.sparrow@wcc.govt.nz to order. $10 from each water tank sale (and sausage proceeds) will be donated to a local community group.
We made a ‘profit’ of $274 selling water tanks and sausages outside Newlands New World in mid-August. This was directed to Paparangi Scouts, St Brigids School ($30), Bellevue School ($20) and the Newlands Food Bank, amongst others.

Fireworks
People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
