KENILWORTH Cheese, wine, music and dragon boats: Easter with a twist on the Sunny Coast!

Aussie Helpers Drought Run

H

eather Thompson and I (Emma Waller) along with our co drivers Graham Walker and Charlie Robey from (Mary Valley Traders) have returned from our drought trip out to Charleville.

f you prefer cheese and wine to chocolate eggs, then the Sunshine Coast is the place to be this Easter.

The region will play host to the Kenilworth Cheese, Wine and Food Festival on Easter Saturday - a free event which kicks off with a cheese rolling competition, followed by gourmet cooking demonstrations.

Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd (SCDL) CEO, Simon Ambrose, said his organisation has teamed up with accommodation providers to offer some special deals to coincide with the event.

“We’ve been working on a number of Stay and Play packages that combine the region’s top sporting, food and cultural events with great accommodation deals.

The Kenilworth Cheese, Wine and Food Festival is the first of many iconic coast events that will feature as part of our Stay and Play campaign in 2014,” Mr Ambrose said.

It’s not only cheese and wine that will be on the menu over Easter. Mr Ambrose says there’s a range of cultural and outdoor events taking place.

“On Easter Sunday, Maroochydore will be transformed into a multicultural mecca as part of the Ocean Street World Festival which will include local Kabi Kabi dancers, Greek folk singers, a Latino rock band and North African drummers - as well as cuisine from all corners of the globe,” he said.

Lake Kawana will be another ‘hot spot’ during the Easter break, thanks to the 2014 Australian Dragon Boat Championships. Hundreds of competitors from across the country will take to the lake in teams of twenty to paddle their impressive dragon boats to the finish line.

Mr Ambrose said that surfers will also have reason to head to the Coast in April.

“What many people might not know is that the Sunshine Coast is home to Australia’s second longest running surf contest - the Pa and Ma Bendall Surf Classic, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary,” he said.

The surfing contest began in 1974 and has attracted some big names over the years including Wayne (Rabbit) Bartholomew, Simon Anderson and Hawaiian legend Gerry Lopez.

Other Easter events include the Far A Way Easter Endurance Ride to be held in the Mary Valley attracting riders from around the country and Easter in the Garden - an open garden event to be held at the Shambles in Montville. The garden will throw open their gate on Easter Saturday and Sunday.

Driving out there was just an experience on its own, from the moment we drove onto the Kilkivan road it was nothing but dirt the entire drive. There were places on the way out that have had small amounts of rain and the ground had a green glow to it however it was still not enough to fill any of the dams or put any growth into the grass. People we went and saw were down to their last dam or were pretty much out of water. Their paddocks were bare with not a sign of grass.

It was nice to see that our everyday drama is nothing compared to what they are going through. However travelling back home, we see that our farmers here are really starting to struggle. I would just like to put a HUGE THANK YOU out to those from Kenilworth and surrounding areas all the way through the Mary Valley to the Gympie area and areas surrounding Gympie for their honest and loyal donations, it was much appreciated and people were very thankful.

If you would like to donate further towards this course you can donate to Buy a Bale, Aussie Helpers and Sunrise are doing a $1 for drought.

KENILWORTH The March of Time

F

or those of us who grew up with the “modern” wooden bridges in the district there is a tinge of sadness as they begin to disappear from the landscape.

From the Nambour Chronicle, dated October 11, 1929 the page 7 report reads:Roads and Tourist Traffic MINISTERIAL TOUR OF THE DISTRICT Landsborough and Maroochy Shires. MALENY, BLACKALL RANGE AND SEASIDE RESORTS VISITED. “Grigor” Bridge Officially Opened The Minister for Railways and Transport Hon. Godfrey Morgan, accompanied by Mrs Morgan, Mrs Grimstone and Messrs E.L. Grimstone and Mr. R.J. Warren, MM.L.A., motored to Landsborough from Brisbane on Saturday morning last. After introduction to representatives of the various bodies present, the party travelled in cars to Maleny.

Cr. J. Grigor of the Landsborough Shire Council in introducing the Minister for Railways and Transport extended a welcome on behalf of the people of the Shire and then referred to the difficulties of construction and even connecting roads out of general rate money and asked that consideration be given to any application for loan money. Landsborough was the first shire to take advantage of the Main Roads Act. He thought the amalgamation of the railways and main roads, like the advent of the recent administration would result in much progress being made throughout the State in the future.

In journeying to Maleny opportunity was taken to show the Minister and party the very excellent view obtainable from the Wootha Road overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains and adjoining country. The Minister later expressed his pleasure at the sights presented.

After lunch at the Maleny Hotel the journey was resumed to the site of the bridge over the Mary River, 15 miles from Maleny on the Conondale Road.

BRIDGE OF LATEST DESIGN The Maleny end of the bridge was decorated with greenery and flags so as to form a huge arch and a sign at the head of the archway read “Grigor Bridge, Welcome to Conondale”. The bridge is of the latest design, built on driven wooden piles at a low level in order to permit of flood water and debris to pass over without damage. The approaches at either side are well formed and covered with penetrative bitumen, with water-tables of concrete.

The downstream side of the approach on the eastern bank has been logged and pinned in order to prevent any wash during flood time. The cost of the work was £3000 and the contractor Mr. A.K. Morris of Beaudesert.

After serving the district well for 85 years the original Grigor Bridge has been replaced by a new and improved bridge.

Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell MP, hosted a community barbeque and informal opening on Friday 7 March to celebrate the completion of the new bridge. “I was pleased to see a huge turnout to celebrate our new bridge on what was a significant day for Conondale and the wider hinterland community,” Mr Powell said.

Long-time locals were on hand to help with opening including Mr Grigor whose grandfather attending the opening of the original bridge. Mr Powell also held an impromptu ribbon cutting ceremony with a twist. Local Conondale General Store owner Ashley Hamilton donated elastic and scissors for the opening of the new bridge. “We certainly do things differently here in the Hinterland and it was great to celebrate with the community following in the footsteps of the original bridge opening in 1929.”

Come to the Kenilworth Museum any Sunday to learn a little more about the earliest bridges in the district.

KENILWORTH omputers: Just like us, you probably have a lovehate relationship with your computer. It either works perfectly or it doesn’t work at all – there is never any middle ground. Printers attached to computers also seem to have a mind of their own occasionally. Recently we had to purchase a new printer and this got me thinking about how much they actually cost. Our new printer cost us $69.00. There were some printers on sale for as low as $39.00 and all of them came with printer cartridges. While I was deciding which printer to purchase, I worked out that the printer I had my eye on, came with ink cartridges which the store was selling for $62.60. I know that the cartridges that come with the printer do not have as much ink in them as the normal cartridges but still, I was actually paying only $6.40 for the printer.

Conclusion: The various printer manufacturers are probably not very interested in which printer you purchase or how much they are selling the printer for, as they are going to make their money over the next few years from selling you heaps of printer cartridges.

Therefore, may we suggest a few hints when you decide to purchase your next printer. Firstly, check out the price of the cartridges that it uses. The printer might be cheap but the cartridges may be expensive. Also, try to find out approximately how many pages you will be able to print per cartridge. This can vary tremendously – some cartridges will print as little at 140–150 pages while others will print up to 400 pages. If you print a lot of colour copies, it may pay to have a printer that has individual colour cartridges rather than all three colours in one cartridge.

People tend to use two colours more than the third and therefore individual colour cartridges may be more economical.

Finally, shop around for your cartridges. There are sometimes quite large price differences between stores.

At Kenilworth Post Office we are very mindful of the price of the printer cartridges we sell. We source our cartridges from the cheapest suppliers and only sell genuine brand name cartridges. The generic cartridges sometimes do not hold as much ink and refills have been known to fail before they are empty. We believe that our prices are very competitive compared to most retailers and we do sell our cartridges below the official Australia Post advertised price. If you are one of our regular customers, we will also ensure that we stock your cartridge because they have this unique ability to run empty in the middle of something important. We also stock and sell Toner Cartridges, at very competitive prices, for larger printers and photocopiers, which are used mainly by businesses. Come in and talk to us about your cartridge needs.

the fortnight that was

ime to search the junk in the back shed again. When a scrap metal dealer in the USA bought a golden ornament at a junk market it never crossed his mind that he was the owner of a Faberge egg hailing from the court of imperial Russia. The man spotted the egg while searching for scrap gold and purchased it hoping to make a fast buck by selling it to the melting pot. But there were no takers, so he searched the Internet only to realise that he had the egg that Russian Tsar Alexander III had given to his wife for Easter in 1887. Value?

Around $20 million.

As Rod Stewart once sang: ‘I am sailing’. The Queen Mary 2 in 10 years at sea has sailed 1.5 million nautical miles and carried 1.3 million passengers. Makes the mind boggle, doesn’t it?

Wonder where you left it? Guitars and other musical instruments are among the weird and wonderful items that fill the lost property boxes of the Sunshine Coast’s bus service. There are also bags of money, a briefcase full of signed cheques, golf clubs, and a set of false teeth. The lost property is donated to the Salvation Army if unclaimed after a month.

Your day to drive. The French Government is set to introduce alternate driving days in Paris based upon odd and even number plate numbers to tackle dangerous levels of air pollution.

Let them roam free. It is rumoured that controversial billionaire Clive Palmer is planning to clone a dinosaur from DNA so he can set it free in a Jurassic Park-style area at his Palmer Resort in Coolum. Mr Palmer has, apparently, been in deep discussion with the people who successfully cloned Dolly the sheep to bring his dinosaur vision to life.

KENILWORTH QPWS starts work on total revamp of Charlie Moreland campground

T

he popular Charlie Moreland camping and dayuse area in Imbil State Forest near Kenilworth is undergoing a total revamp by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) over the next 14 months at a total cost of $1.539 million.

Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell MP, said the Sunshine Coast hinterland campground in open forest beside Little Yabba Creek was one of Queensland’s most popular for families and large groups, but was looking very tired.

“It’s time to totally revitalise Charlie Moreland, soil has become compacted, the grass is patchy, some large mature gum trees are dropping limbs and are dangerous, the toilets are outdated and don’t meet standards. ” Mr Powell said.

“The QPWS upgrade will feature vegetation belts, new toilets and associated waste water treatment systems, renewed water infrastructure with an environmentally friendly solar pump, new furniture and rebuilt pathways in the day-use area, redesigned roadways to enhance traffic flow and visitor safety including a rebuilt causeway that’s longer and more resilient to flooding.

“Work has already started, with two toilet blocks being removed and temporary facilities in place.

“Some mature trees are being removed, as they drop large limbs. These will be replaced by hundreds of new trees and shrubs, in belts of vegetation to provide shade.

It’s your water!

Have your say...

Seqwater is undertaking a review of the recreation facilities at Lake Borumba and Lake Macdonald.

We encourage you to have your say about recreation opportunities around the lake. Discussion Papers will be available online from 23 April and at your local ward or council office. We invite you to attend an information session where you can ask questions, get additional information on the review process and register for a workshop on the lakes.

Saturday Imbil (rotunda in 9 am – 10:30 am 3 May town centre) Cooroy (outside IGA)

Habitat trees that are home to birds and possums will be kept, where they don’t pose a risk.

“When it’s finished in mid 2015, Charlie Moreland will be an ever better spot to camp.

“Until then, every effort will be made to keep the campground open by staggering the works. We’re asking visitors to be patient, be understanding, observe signage and check park alerts at www.nprsr.qld.gov.au for updates.”

National Parks Minister Steve Dickson said the campground normally takes 380 campers at capacity, which will be reduced to a maximum of 100 while the work’s going on.

“At stages involving internal roadworks and rebuilding the causeway, QPWS will need to close the campground bookings totally for a few weeks. For those periods, we will be encouraging campers to book at nearby Booloumba Creek. Those works will be after Anzac Day, and subject to weather.”

Mr Dickson said the area was blessed with a range of attractive campgrounds.

“People who are very loyal to Charlie Moreland are encouraged to try other campgrounds in the Mary Valley.

“The options include Booloumba Creek in Conondale National Park, Peach Trees in Jimna State Forest, Amamoor Creek and Cedar Grove in Amamoor State Forest, Glastonbury Creek in Brooyar State Forest, the Kenilworth showgrounds and private campgrounds.”

Sites at Charlie Moreland can be booked online at www.nprsr.qld.gov.au

I

t is easy to use a local business when you know where to find it, and the long-awaited Mary Valley Business and Community Directory will tell you just that.

The bi-annual book detailing Mary Valley businesses and community groups has hit the post office, with the online version now live as well at www. themaryvalley.com.au The directory is in its fourth edition and is produced by community organisation Mary Valley Inc, which also brought you the Farm to Business Trade Directory in 2013. MVI produced the first business directory in 2009.

Coordinator Jo Robey said the 2014 directory was a onestop shop as far as buying local in the Mary Valley was concerned.

“There are so many businesses listed in this A5 book, it really is a gold mine for locals, and people in neighbouring areas who deal with the valley,” Mrs Robey said.

Advertising sales, and sponsorship from both the Mary Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Queensland Government, meant that the directory could once again be produced and delivered free of charge to the Mary Valley.

The directory is available through valley post offices and will be distributed to residents via the post.

Mrs Robey urged people to make use of the book and spend their dollars in the valley to ensure its economic survival.

A little Piece of Peace

own in the Obi D On a little hidden farm Surrounded by mountains

And lots of charm Lives an old couple all wrinkled and grey Nivana found, forever to stay.

Surrounded by wild things And birds in the sky They have things more precious Than money can buy.

They lives their lives, simple and free Together, forever, as happy could be.

Of material things, they have no need More important to them, a plant or a seed They’d work each day in the Earth’s warm soil Stopping only to rest, and a cuppa to boil Late in the evening when work is done Two tired bodies to the verandah would come They’d sit and rock as the sun went down At peace with themselves for what they had found.

Going Once, Going Twice: $2.6million in Mary Valley Auction

F

or more than two hours, with at times spirited bidding wars, the latest Mary Valley auction raised $2.6million as seven properties were sold at the Gympie RSL on Saturday 22 March.

Gympie MP and chair of the Mary Valley Economic Development Advisory Group, David Gibson, said that the purchase of these properties; which were acquired by the previous government for the failed Traveston Dam, continues to show the strength of recovery to the region under the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy.

“Today is a win for the Mary Valley and the taxpayers of Queensland,” said Mr Gibson.

“Of the 12 properties put up for auction, seven sold under the hammer and a further four are under negotiation. This is a clearance rate of nearly 60% which is well above the Queensland reported auctions clearance rate by RPData for last week of only 40%.”

The seven properties were sold, for prices ranging from $265, 000 to a top price of $475,000, with the average sale price at $375,000.

“These auctions show the high degree of interest amongst buyers to call the Mary Valley home” Mr Gibson said.

“It’s clear that the confidence from economic development announcements like the Quarter Horse project brings to local community is also rubbing off in the rural residential sales” “Today showed that people are willing to invest in the community.”

MARY VALLEY Blue Light disco fever in Mary Valley

M

ary Valley kids will join children all over Queensland for a simultaneous dance party on April 4.

The Valley disco will be held at the Kandanga Hall from 6.30pm at the same time as discos will be held throughout the State to celebrate 30 years of Blue Light discos in Queensland.

For movie night details or inquiries about the discos, contact Mrs Gabbana on 5484 3465 or visit the website www.mvdl.wxw.com.au or join the facebook page www.facebook.com/mvbluelight Photo left: Youngsters are encouraged to let loose on the dance floor at the Mary Valley Blue Light disco at Kandanga.

I

Life Chats …

have deviated many times on this subject. Should I keep my mouth closed or not about the whereabouts of Johanna Designs in Kenilworth? Fortunate local women know the potential which lurks behind that wood and glass entry door. Would I dare expose the shop to the hoards outside our hinterland community and risk lack of stock for my own selfish wardrobe requirements?

Quietly I’m just joking, because not on your life would I not spread the word!

Local disco organiser Trish Gabbana said the anniversary was a great reason to increase awareness of the Blue Light organisation, which encourages children to reach their full potential by being involved with their communities, their parents and the police.

The popular Blue Light discos provide a safe and fun environment to do just that, and are open to children aged eight to 15. They are fully supervised and free of alcohol, drugs and violence.

It is now two years since the Mary Valley started a branch of the Queensland Blue Light Association and since then it has held four discos a year in the Kandanga Hall, attracting some 60 children each night.

It is one of 89 branches affiliated with the Queensland Blue Light Association which supports Catalyst, an intervention program for young people at risk of criminal and antisocial behaviour.

The association also sponsors Braking the Cycle, a driver education program aimed at reducing the cycle of disadvantaged youths becoming a statistic on our roads.

These youths are offered free driving lessons with volunteer mentors to build up their mandatory 100 learner driver hours, and the program won the 2013 Queensland Road Safety Community Award last year.

Back in the Mary Valley, young local DJs Patrick Carr and Yasmin Morris take charge of the DJ equipment and video screen and play the latest music, all under the glow of a disco ball and strobe lighting.

Mrs Gabbana said the branch now offered movie nights as well as discos, with the next movie event on July 27 at the Kandanga Hall.

The Kandanga disco on April 4 starts at 6.30pm and finishes at 8.30pm. Entry is $5 and high school IDs are needed.

Mary Valley discos will be held on June 13, September 5 and November 21.

Geographically, it is not expected that down in the main street of Kenilworth you would find the most fabulous women’s clothing boutique. In my whole shopping life, I have never set foot in a shop like it anywhere in the world.

Upon entry Ladies, you will be accordingly transported to the ultimate in women’s shopping heaven.

The list of stocked items is quite literally jaw dropping: hats, scarves, jewellery – bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, shoes, bags, belts, shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, evening wear, wraps, boleros and jackets. Items normally located in colour coded sections and it is then open slather for drooling customer purchases.

As a customer too, the experience is not only about the merchandise. It’s that good old fashioned friendly service which stands out from the competition. Johanna and her team shine in their role as fashion consultants. They are very experienced and have a definite strong and superior knowledge of what suits each individual shopper. Honest feedback is shot from the hip and you know you can trust their advice. As an added bonus, at no point do you feel the “hard sell” is at work which is so prominent with other shop sales assistants.

I’m also glowing in the fact that a recent trip to Johanna Designs allowed one of my best friends to purchase a fabulous dress to attend the Queensland PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Awards at the Gold Coast. See, I have shared the love. Her words via e-mail, “Thank you my lovely friend. I had a fabulous morning. I will start saving my coins now so husband does not know how much I spend at that glorious store ;) Donna”.

Special note must also be communicated to my lovely husband. May just have to state, “lovely” again. You should also be made aware of your wife’s recent dress purchase at Shop 8a, Elizabeth Street, Kenilworth. It was the fault of my friend. She said it looked smashing on me and MADE me buy it!

OUR COMMUNITY IMBIL POLICE BRIEFS

E

aster is fast approaching and this statistically represents one of the most dangerous times of year on our roads. Each Easter, there are a large number of fatalities as well as a significant increase in crashes. This is due to the increased traffic on the roads and the resultant increase in bad and tired drivers.

If you intend to drive this Easter, please take care. Make sure your vehicle is roadworthy and make sure you are fit to drive. Don’t drink and drive and stick to the speed limit. Wear your seat belt and ensure that all people in your vehicle are wearing seat belts. Don’t drive while tired or while using a mobile phone.

Have frequent breaks and be aware of the drivers around you. Remember that you don’t have to be at fault to be killed or injured in a traffic crash.

The Police will be out in force over the period, including the school holidays, and we tend to not show too much leniency with traffic offenders over this period. The object of the exercise is to get people to their destination safely and to not have to deliver any death messages.

There will be a large endurance ride from the Imbil Showgrounds into the forestry over the Easter period and all road users are asked to be aware of horses on the roadway and the edge of the road and take appropriate care.

Many Queensland Transport (drivers licence and registration) functions can be performed online at www.tmr.qld.com.au On this site you can change your address, pay an Infringement Notice, renew registration and renew your drivers licence in some instances. This saves you time waiting in line at a QT office or attending a Police Station to have these functions performed.

If you wish to attend the Imbil Police Station for QT transactions, remember the hours are Monday 9am-2pm, Tuesday 8am-12md, Wednesday 12md–4pm and Thursday 9am-2pm. However, Glenda is not in attendance at times due to leave or training and QT functions are not performed when she is not available.

It is better to ring and make sure Glenda is at the Station before attending to save an unnecessary trip.

We have received a number of complaints recently about drivers of vehicles not securing their loads adequately. This relates to all vehicle, trucks, utilities, cars and trailers. It is the responsibility of the driver of a vehicle to ensure that their load is secured so that none of the load comes loose during the journey.

This includes bark, sawdust, gravel and soil from trucks; rubbish from trucks, utilities, cars and trailers and any other loads from any vehicles.

The loss of loads causes unsightly rubbish along roadways and footpaths and some of the loads coming clear cause damage to following vehicles.

Penalties apply for drivers who do not adequately secure loads and those penalties will be enforced.

OUR P OLITICS

D

Wellington’s Way

rought declaration Recently I met with the Hon John McVeigh MP, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and local farming representative, Shane Paulger from Kenilworth, to argue the case for the Sunshine Coast to be drought declared.

It was heartening to get word from the Minister the next day that the Government had listened to our submission and declared the Sunshine Coast drought affected. People seeking information on drought assistance packages can go to http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/environment/drought/ assistance/new-package Whilst light rain has fallen since this declaration was made it does not remove the need for the drought declaration.

Government’s Double Dipping puts pressure on community groups I am calling on all community groups and Not for Profit organisations, that are now required to pay the State Emergency Fire and Rescue Tax, to tell the Government to stop the double dipping.

Most members of community groups and Not for Profit organisations are already paying this new tax on their household rates notice and they should not be required by this Government to pay a second time when their organisations are providing important community services.

Last week in Parliament, I raised this matter with the Premier after being approached by a local community organisation that was required to pay an extra $220 a year as a result of this new tax. In light of the Premier’s answer that the Government is reviewing it, I believe now is the best time to mobilise all community groups and Not for Profit organisations to tell the Government enough is enough.

The State Budget is due to be brought down in June and I urge all Community Groups and Not for Profit organisations to write to the Premier and the Treasurer to say “No to double dipping”.

Nicklin Community Awards I am again calling on the Nicklin community to recognise their local heroes. We have many among us who go above and beyond in their efforts to help others in our community. I am calling for nominations for people living in the Nicklin electorate who have provided a significant service to our local community.

There are also people who I believe are surrogate grandparents or just good neighbours, who lend a helping hand and expect nothing in return, if you know someone who fits this bill, I encourage you to nominate them to let them know that their efforts are appreciated.

Nominations close on Wednesday 30 April 2014 and presentations will be made at a morning tea on 15 May 2014. Nomination forms are available from my Nambour Office, phone 5441 6933 or email: nicklin@parliament.qld. gov.au

14| April 2, 2014

Marquees available for community groups I have acquired two 3mx3m sturdy marquees that are available for use by Not for Profit community groups. If your community group would like to borrow a marquee for an event, just give my office a call.

MP Peter Wellington

A

Rogo’s round-up

fortnight ago I mentioned that drought relief was available to local property owners, share farmers and lessees. With the dry conditions still holding sway, the Sunshine Coast is now officially drought-declared.

This means that help is available to primary producers through the State Government’s Drought Relief Assistance Scheme (DRAS). This is a scheme to help graziers manage livestock resource during drought periods and to help in the restoration of that resource after drought.

DRAS provides up to a maximum of $20,000 per property per financial year on all freight subsidy and rebate types.

Although this may be exceeded to $30,000 on approval of your property’s drought management plan by the Local Drought Committee, or up to $40,000 in the third and subsequent years of a drought declaration.

For more information visit http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/ environment/drought/assistance/new-package, or call 132 523.

Sculpture alterations The Kenilworth sculpture has been altered by the artist and will soon return to its original location on the corner of the park.

I recently met onsite with representatives from the art council to inspect the changes and finalise plans for a hedge to be planted behind the sculpture in place of the section of white timber fence railing. This will also serve to enhance the look of the sculpture.

As for the sculpture itself, the base has been elongated and a paint finish applied to it that will soon create a fine rusted look and highlight the lung fish, platypus and turtle features.

Got a TV or computer you don’t need?

If so you can offload it for free at any council tip and contribute to 1000 tonnes of e-waste that’s been recycled on the Sunshine Coast over the past 12 months.

You might not be aware that around 90% of materials in your TV, PC or printer can actually be turned into something new. It’s free for you and it’s great for our environment because it’s keeping these items out of our valuable landfill space.

For more information check council’s website or just turn up to your local transfer station with your unwanted TVs and computers!

See you around the valley soon.
