We need your help.....
Dear Friends,
It’s been a fair old while since you were emailed by BVCG.
We are cranking up the old system because… well because the Council are cranking up an old attack on your Recreation Reserve. Justine is attaching a copy of the submission I have just lodged on behalf of BVCG, which explains what has happened in the two years in between, and how Council have been knocked back in their daft intention to create tourist development in the upper Brook Valley. They persist, you know, despite the Environment Court advising them that what they had done was unlawful. Have a look at the last Council meeting on live stream video.
We would like everyone to make a submission in response to recent public notices, in part objecting to their not having called for objections in the Public Notices, as they are obliged to do. They try to be sneaky, you see, cut corners, and it never works, not so you would notice.
Just email submissions@ncc.govt.nz and say you want to be heard at the Hearing on November 1st. Tell them you want your Recreation Reserve back, thank you. Tell them you are not happy with their Draft Plan and want them to revisit it. Tell them it is blazingly obvious that the Sanctuary is a still dying duck, probably from brodifacoum, and that you are well aware that the commercial support that was supposed to be coming available to them from NMIT, DOC, and the bloody Gondola has all vanished. What remains is a permanent drain on ratepayers to watch slip after slip taking place, just as we told them it would. Their Vision 2 was a group hallucination. Time for reality. Leave the upper Brook alone! Better, protect it!
Anyway, all the best in your real lives. Do this for us, please. We have the backing of the Nelson Residents Association, who are making their submission alongside ours.
Yours,
Christopher St Johanser
Chair
BVCG.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Calling all those in Wheelchairs
Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
