What do you think should be done about the newly-settled seagull colony in Blenheim?

A colony of seagulls has caused significant disruption to business owners in Blenheim after establishing their nest on the rooftop of Richmond House in the CBD.

UFS Pharmacy Christopher Furness first noticed the noise and the excrement. “Particularly when you are upstairs, you can hear the birds scratching on the roof. The other problem is obviously the droppings all over the sides of the building, the windows, the car park... Some workers don't park their car here any more because of the birds,” Furness said.

Owners and tenants of Richmond house decided to take action two weeks ago and clean up the roof. They were forced to stop when they realised that red-billed gulls are protected by the Wildlife Act. Those involved cannot resume the process without a wildlife exemption permit.

Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Neighbourhood Support has had a makeover recently and they now have beautiful, bright, new signs that need to be installed in neighbourhoods around Marlborough. Do you have a couple of hours spare to help remove old signs and put up new ones?
Ideally, we are looking for volunteers with your own transport (although this doesn't have to be a car) and your own tools (step ladder, drill, screws, cable ties, maybe pliers).
The signs, along with a map of streets requiring new signage, will be provided.

One-off or short-term; YOU CHOOSE how much time you give.

YOU CHOOSE between doing only neighbourhoods close to you, or covering a wider area of Marlborough.



Apply online by clicking the read more button below.

Alternatively, send us a message, call 03 577 9388, email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz, or book an appointment online via our main Facebook page.⁠
