neighbourly.co.nz SEPTEMBER 13, 2017, THE TRIBUNE 5 SPCA wants animal ambulance drivers RICHARD MAYS A Manawatū after-hours animal emergency ambulance service is running on empty due to a lack of volunteer drivers. The Manawatū SPCA operates two ambulance vehicles to help sick and injured animals that require immediate veterinary assistance. However, Palmerston North centre manager Katie Pedersen said the SPCA had been operating on minimal volunteer ambulance staff through the winter. She said too few drivers on the roster increased the chance of vol- unteer burn-out, meaning more stress on the remaining drivers and staff pressed in to maintain the service. With summer approaching Pedersen would like more drivers for the out-of-hours and weekend Katie Pedersen, roster. Palmerston ‘‘In spring and summer we get North SPCA a lot more call-outs.

A landscaped and extended car park will complement the new retro-styled building and minia- ture railway platform, with demo- lition of the 48-year-old existing station and its platform scheduled for March 2018. ‘‘There is a real excitement at council about this project,’’ city mayor and miniature railway patron Grant Smith said. At the official naming of the railway’s engine shed on Friday, which will now be called the Loco- motive and Rolling Stock Main- tenance Depot - or ‘‘the Depot’’, Smith described the attraction as the jewel in the crown of the Esplanade. He said about 260,000 people visited the Esplanade every year, and those numbers would increase when the Wildbase Recovery aviaries, junior road safety park, and the He Ara Kotahi cycle and pedestrian bridge across the Manawatū River were completed. Scenic Railway’s Grant Taylor said $200,000 would come from the society, and $100,000 from funding Patron of the Esplanade Scenic Railway, mayor Grant Smith goes a little loco in front of the newly named engine shed.
