Kei rāhui te hoko motokā ki te rori o Salisbury Headline in English: Salisbury Rd car sales could be banned. Waimea College principal Scott Haines is backing a proposal to ban car sales from Salisbury Rd and create drop-off pick-up zones outside the school, saying the move
would dramatically improve traffic safety for students. Scott contacted the Tasman District Council with his concerns about traffic safety issues outside the school earlier this year. Last week, council agreed to start public consultation on three key proposed chang-
es in the traffic by-law aimed at making the stopping lines on Salisbury Road on the road safer for students. north eastern side of the Waimea College Council voted to approve consultation for staff car park”. “a proposal to ban vehicles for sale for the Two P2 drop-off pick-up spaces on Salisbury Rd, outside Waimea full length of Salisbury Rd”.

Kei te hiahia mātou ngā Remana Headline in English: We want lemons. Rachel Orr’s real fruit ice-creams are such a hit she’s turned a part time side-business into a full time gig, but she’s missing one key ingredient -- lemons. You see, among Rachel’s more popular icecream is a lemon flavour. Usually she is inundated with lemons to wash, bash and prepare for her ice-cream, but this year she’s a little short and is putting the word out for homegrown lemons. And she’s even willing to swap them for one of her famous ice-creams. “I’d be happy to give an ice-cream voucher for some lemons,” she says. “I’m desperate.” Rachel’s “Get Real Fruit Ice-cream” cart, was built in Richmond and Hope and is usually parked at Tahuna Beach. “We get so busy in summer, we’ve been there for three years now and it’s such a great vibe down there.” Rachel says she needs the lemons now because she’s far too busy in the summer to process them. Anyone with lemons that they’d be willing to donated to Rachel can call her on 544 5618 and she’d be thrilled to come and pick them up.
