Speaker 2: Day out of the office. Today, we've got the councilors

11
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: on a bus up to Myth and Mount Summers around that.

12
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Wait, wasn't there The bus trip was last week? You're

13
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: a week late.

14
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: We had an Ashburton focused look around last week or

15
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: things in and around Ashburton. This one's in and around

16
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: methn and Mount Summers. So having a look at things

17
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: like the Memorial Hall up there, the water treatment plant,

18
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 2: Mount Harding Stream which is kind of involved in some

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: way with the stockwater exit and what do we do

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: in that space, Elderly person's housing units. Wanted to have

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: a look at one of the units up there, the

22
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: bird Song area where the trust is developing a bird

23
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: song in the middle of town, the domain, the cemetery,

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: the recycling depot, and then over to Mount Summers. Have

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: it a little bit of flood prone stuff, the domain

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: and camping ground, and then look at the Mars site

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: on the way home the heinz Co Water Enhancement Trust site.

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: I bet the locks of Ambersize are glazing over. But

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: for me maybe it's a stage in life that have

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: crossed a lot of that would be quite fascinating. I

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,639
Speaker 1: reckon behind the scenes of how everything.

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: It's very easy to sit in a building and gip

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: reports and look at the papers and sort of see

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: the thing in your mind's eye. There's nothing like getting

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: out and having a look at it, and we try

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: and do it once in the term of the new council,

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: so particularly new councilors can see the things peraps for

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: the first time. But it's also a great refresher for

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: counselors who are returning and the like, just to see

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: these things on the ground rather than just you know,

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: rots and lots of endless reports and words and pictures.

42
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: So it's great they did that open day at the RDR,

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: which I was like enough to go to a couple

44
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: of years back where we got to walk the tunnel,

45
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and that I thought was really fascinating. Yes, so being

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: able to go behind the scenes of these facilities. So

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: who's on the bus who makes the cat.

48
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Are the counselors, Yeah, one or two of us staff,

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: one or two of the people who know more about

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: these things than someone else in the council.

51
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Got some tour guides essentially, that's right.

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, sort of the people of the experts in the

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: particular thing we're looking at. So catching up with some

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: local people we pick up for the myth and piece

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: the myth and community board members adjoining counselors on that

56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: part of the tour as well, So good for them

57
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: to mix with counselors but also see the same things

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: together and hear the same story all together. So yeah,

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: it should be a really interesting and informative day.

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Really, are you expecting it to be quite physical because

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: you're sort of an active wear.

62
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: Almost it's called a T shirt.

63
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those under armoured ones. Is there

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: some training ahead of the Relay for Life this weekend?

65
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Get stick counter.

66
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: I know your listeners won't be able to see you,

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: but you know you are wearing a Rugby jersey.

68
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: That's because it's green, because it's Saint Patrick's Days. Speaking

69
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: of which, is there is a stop on the way

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: home on the bus St.

71
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: Patrick's is not on the official schedule, but who knows

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: that you know from five A one onwards, who knows?
