Selwyn news

The Government’s KiwiSaver HomeStart scheme is helping more people in the Selwyn region to buy their own homes, with 575 grants issued in the past two years, says local MP Amy Adams.

Selwyn MP Amy Adams welcomes the opening of nominations for the 27th annual Green Ribbon Awards.

“These prestigious awards recognise outstanding work to protect and enhance the environment; by individuals, communities and organisations,” Ms Adams says.

Selwyn MP Amy Adams is delighted with the Government’s announcement that the town of Lincoln is to gain another primary school.

Set to open in 2019, Lincoln South Primary School will be a full primary school (Years 1-8.) Stage one of the $14 million project will cater for 450 students, with the roll due to grow to 700.

My thoughts are with those affected by the fires in the Landsdowne/Tai Tapu area and also Governor's Bay and the Summit Road, especially those whose properties have been damaged and those who have been evacuated from their homes.
