Community in mourning after death of beloved North Canterbury principal

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Rangiora Borough School principal Alan Sutton, 66, died in Ashburton on Sunday.

The school hall would be open daily from 10am till 12 noon this week, for people anyone who wished to leave flowers or messages, a school spokesperson said.

The school would hold a service to celebrate Sutton’s life in the hall on Tuesday, and the community was encouraged to come along to celebrate his life. The service would be livestreamed.

Our thoughts are with Alan's family, friends and school community.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
