Volunteers are collecting leftover food from stallholders at Stroud Farmers Market and giving it to Community Food Hubs in Stroud, Chalford, Brimscombe, Cashes Green, Rodborough and more. The initiative also invites shoppers to buy an extra product from stallholders and take it to the collection basket in 4 Seasons Market, Threadneedle Street, less than a minute’s walk from the market. Volunteers organised by local community hubs and the charity Earth Protector Communities will then go around the stalls after the market and collect any leftovers have not been sold. Kardien Gerbrand, who runs the farmer market, said: “I wholeheartedly support what you are doing whilst at the same time feeling a little sad that as a society we are in a situation where there are so many in need of food aid whilst a very small number of people are getting increasingly wealthy.”

Subscriber only A man who engaged in a spree of theft and dishonesty offences between Port Macquarie and the Queensland border will soon be sentenced. Nathan Rowe, 34, from the Sydney suburb of Tregear, appeared before Tweed Heads Local Court via video link from custody on Friday. Rowe, who has a lengthy criminal history, has pleaded guilty to a host of offences. According to court documents, he was ultimately arrested at Tweed City Shopping Centre on May 23 last year, three days after he fled from the scene of a crash involving a stolen Nissan Navara in Nerang. Along with breaking into homes and vehicles, court documents shed light on Rowe repeatedly getting access to the underground carparks of apartment buildings and rifling through locked and unlocked storage areas.
