Crossroads Marlborough offers takeaway food service in lockdown
A community centre in Marlborough has closed its doors but has left a window open for people in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
Crossroads Marlborough kitchen manager Richard McDonald said due to the Government's lockdown people could not gather in the centre as usual, but they could still collect takeaway food delivered through a window at the centre, or phone in if they need someone to talk to.
"We have a closed door policy but we are operating through the window and over the phone. Even though we are in a shutdown situation we are here for social contact," McDonald said.

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.
