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

An ageing population, more people living alone and the demands of modern life mean more of us - and not just the elderly - are feeling lonely.
Stuff launched a series that aims to raise awareness about one of the biggest issues facing New Zealand - social isolation. Loneliness is a condition that touches everyone in different parts of their lives and has a huge effect on people's mental and physical health.
This series also aims to make a difference by providing people with ideas about how they can connect. We also want to challenge people to reach out to the socially isolated. This will help build happier, more resilient connected and healthier communities. Have a look here.

Hi all,
I was in the Philippines recently. It rained and rained. My friend Ana's place was already leaking in the rain but then it got flooded throughout.

I was in the Philippines recently. It rained and rained. My friend Ana's place was already leaking in the rain but then it got flooded throughout.
I have created a Give-a-little page for her in order to help her move from her flooded home into a dry home so she and her daughter have a safe place to live.
Ana is a 41 year old mother in the Philippines. She is currently living near Manilla, far from her home in Leyte in order to support her daughter at university. Ana does not have the qualification to get a decent job and relies on selling breakfast on the street. This provides a barely sufficient income. Her current two room rental leaks badly in the rain and she wants to move to somewhere drier and closer to the university. Recently due to extra heavy rains her entire neighbourhood flooded. This flooded her house throughout. She has no money to move. I want to raise enough funds for her to move and to help her survive the rest of the year.
Here is the link to the page.

Many thanks

just a quick update, my partner spoke to th head of doc in nelson who referred him onto another doc worker, he asked about the website we were given to use to register the interest of those people who were keen to become volunteers to search for the south island kokako in the nelson and surrounding areas,apparently the website we were given isnt designed for people to register their interest in helping with the search, only log in a sighting of the bird or those who would like to sponser the search,he is still looking for volunteers to help,,after that he will arrange a meeting time place day for the volunteers to have a get together and sort out some training and an area to do it in
please do contact me though the neighbourly leave name and contact detail so he can get in touch with you
