Christmas is a time for us all to take a breath and appreciate the positive things that have happened for us over the year.

2018 has been an eventful year for Marlborough. Our visitor numbers are up, exceeding pre-earthquake figures and the cruise ship sector is going from strength to strength. It’s also been a busy year for Council and we have achieved some great results across a range of projects.

I’m looking forward to a break at home with my family over Christmas. I hope you are able to share the holidays with people you care about too. I wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year.

Instead of encouraging people to be overly cautious during the silly season, we wanted to share our injury prevention tips in a more interesting way.

Based on the traditional Christmas song we all know and love, we created a video series featuring 12 weird and not so wonderful injuries we saw from last Christmas, and tips on how to avoid them!

Give our 12 Days of ACC Christmas video series a watch. From everyone at ACC we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.
