Free Bowel Cancer Screening
In MidCentral, free bowel screening is now available for Māori and Pacific people aged 50-74 and from 60 years old for everyone else.
Around your birthday, you will receive an invitation, followed by a bowel screening test kit.
The bowel screening test is quick and simple to do by yourself at home. Make sure you do the test as soon as possible and send it back.
For further information, see the Time to Screen website, call 0800 924 432, or talk to your doctor.
Birds nesting on our riverbanks
Hi neighbours
Could you please ask everyone you know with a love of driving their 4WD in our rivers, to please stay away for the next few months. There are birds nesting in the gravel, and chicks exploring, and they are highly vulnerable to vehicles, as well as off-leash dogs. I saw some just this morning, so please respect their space. Thank you!
We're talking new year resolutions...
