Funding for Marlborough schools' long standing heritage education programme has been axed.

The education programme teaching young people the history of the region has been running for 25 years - its future is in jeopardy unless new financial backing can be secured. 

Matt also has details on a recent plane runway incident at Omaka, the opening of Blenheim's new library, a stray cat shelter overflowing with felines and a popular robotics event.
