More help to deal with the damage caused by flooding in Tasman and Marlborough is about to arrive in the form of the so-called "Enhanced Task Force Green."
The government has activated funds which means those on benefits in the area can volunteer to assist and become part of the group working to reverse some of the damage.
The Ministry for Social Development's Regional Commissioner for the area, Craig Churchill, says Enhanced Taskforce Green is entirely voluntary, but it will help those hit by flood damage and build skills for those taking part.
