Phoenix Cafe and Bar employee Elizah Hudson handed in a petition against a refuge crossing in Renwick less than a day after residents were letter dropped.
A new crossing in Marlborough has been stopped in its tracks, days before it was about to go down, after officials realised they had forgotten to consult the public. The Marlborough District Council has agreed to postpone a refuge crossing on High St (State Highway 6) in Renwick after residents handed in 340 signatures calling for its relocation. Residents feared the crossing would pile more problems onto an already “chaotic” stretch of road ringed by entrances to the car parks of several businesses.
Kelvin was a third-generation Rai Valley man and remembered the pub opening. His mother had worked there. “We saw the Rai Valley Progress League pitch to the council for years about a village green . and we said, ‘Why can’t we chop that car park in half? It has too many parks’, Tania said. “It would be nice to help give the community a heart.”

Design plans show the tavern plans to turn half of its car park into a village green for Rai Valley, with new public toilets. Designers proposed keeping 29 of the car parks – two of which were disabled spaces – and replacing the rest with a 570-square-metre village green, a playground made of log structures, and an outdoor seating area and tavern courtyard.
Chattanooga State Partners With EPB’s On Ramp Program Monday, December 14, 2020 - by Betty Proctor, Chattanooga State It’s been more than one year since EPB’s David Wade and Chattanooga State’s Bo Drake sat down to discuss the development of talent pools within our community. That discussion led to a Chattanooga State/EPB partnership designed to help identify individuals that would be a good fit for EPB’s inaugural nine-month program – Opportunity On Ramp.
According to Adam Collins, EPB’s talent and development lead, the traditional path has brought great talent into EPB, but he noted that there are other determined, hard-working individuals who have not had the chance to earn the prerequisite skills to join a company like EPB.
