A total fire ban is now in place across Marlborough following a spate of hot temperatures and strong winds. A wet start to the summer has meant vigorous plant growth, which means Marlborough is ripe for scrub fire. While the region still looks green in places, the soil and grass are drying out.

A wet start to the summer has meant vigorous plant growth, which means Marlborough is ripe for scrub fire. While the region still looks green in places, the soil and grass are drying out.
Entrance signs at the Wither Hills Farm Park have been installed cautioning walkers and bikers to avoid the area between 10am and 4pm. Temperatures are expected to peak to 35 degrees in Blenheim next week, and as the hot weather continues, everyone needs to be responsible to protect our region from a fire.

A fire at Blenheim’s Waste Sorting Centre earlier this week is a reminder that we need to dispose of rubbish responsibly.
Council’s Solid Waste Manager Alec McNeil says we can take simple measures, like ensuring batteries are not disposed of with other waste, to reduce the risk of fire.

Council’s Solid Waste Manager Alec McNeil says we can take simple measures, like ensuring batteries are not disposed of with other waste, to reduce the risk of fire.
The Centre has re-opened at reduced hours. Until its systems are up and running again, waste will be recorded manually. Customers should be patient with the process.
The investigation into the cause of the fire continues.
It can be an anxious time waiting for any medical appointment but what do you do if you have to wait months for a scan? Has anyone here been in that position? Has it been a tought wait?
