SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
Report Sept 06
It is pleasing to see residents taking an interest in our village
and coming along to the committee meetings. You are all welcome.
The next meeting will be held in the Library at 7pm on Wednesday
27th September. We were delighted with the response that
we received from Phillips St. residents for speed humps and a
footpath. These petitions have now gone to the M.D.C. and we await
their response. The committee feel that villages like Sanson and
Rongotea pay dearly for the services that we have and we constantly
remind the M.D.C. that we expect in the year 2006 better drainage,
footpaths etc. We have asked for a meeting with the reserves manager
to see if something can be done about the drainage at the playground.
Several trees have been planted there and they have failed to
thrive due to the soggy ground. In the car park at the Community
Hall a large pothole has been patched several times by the Council
and recently James O’Regan suggested that perhaps it was the site
of an old well and sure enough he surmised correctly. It has now
been dug out and compacted thoroughly and resealed. We are aware
that in days long gone there was several of these beautifully
crafted brick wells built in this area the most notable being
the one in the Caltex Shop.
SANSON COMMUNITY
LIBRARY
Did you know that Telecom provides us with regular updates of
all New Zealand phone books? As they get bigger they seem to make
the print smaller so we now provide a magnifying glass for those
of us who are visually challenged. As well as our photo copying
service we also have a laminator so if you want your C.V. laminated
this is the place to come. Opening hours are
Monday 10am to midday Tuesday 2pm to 4pm. Thursday 10am to midday
Friday 2pm to 4pm. Saturday 11am to 1pm.
We will be having a coffee morning on Tuesday 12th September at
10am. and you are all welcome. If you are new to the village come
along and meet the locals and see what services the library offers.
We have now figured out how to send E-Mails from our computer
and all the databases are there for residents to check out. Library
is free to all except for the photocopying and laminating services.
There are still a few books overdue from our last issue. If you
are guilty please bring them back!
COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT!
We haven’t had a niggle about the Recycling Centre for a while
so here goes. Sadly some people are abusing this facility and
using it as a rubbish dump. This is very aggravating to Daniel
who keeps the place tidy. The person who left identifying envelopes
among the rotten bananas in their rubbish will be hearing from
the M.D.C.
The rule is paper goes in the paper slot (not in the cardboard
container) milk bottles in milk bottle slot etc. and if there
is not a place for it don’t leave it! Surely that is easy to understand
isn’t it?
BAD DOGS AND GOOD
DOGS.
If a dog menaces you please ring the dog ranger on 3230000 and
he will take action. It is a poor show when one blind resident
is afraid to include Dundas Rd. on his daily walk because of a
dog rushing at him. Have you noticed Barry’s new guide dog Gabe?
If you wish to pat him (the dog I mean) please ask permission
first. This young dog is gradually getting accustomed to guiding
Barry about the village.
That’s it for this month so rejoice in the lovely
spring weather which is at long last on it’s way. (And about time
too.)
