Here are some of the greatest Drag Race quotes that will make you drop: "'Go back to Party City where you belong!'" "'Let me ask you a very fair question: what do you do successfully? Quickly.'

Canterbury native bird sanctuary gets green light
A project to bring native bird song to a new sanctuary in Methven has taken another step forward. Methven Birdsong Initiative has taken possession of the block of land they plan to turn into a native bird sanctuary. The Methven Lions are leading the project and have received formal approval from the District Council, Methven Community Board, and Te Runanga o Arowhenua to proceed, with a 35-year lease commencing on July 1 for the vacant 2 hectares of council-owned land. Project spokesperson Mac McElwain said the length of the lease confirms it to be 'a forever legacy project for our town'. 'This is an exciting outcome for our steering group after 15 months of preplanning, starting with getting a trapping programme under way around Methven.' The land comprises the existing Garden of Harmony – an area of council land already planted – and the vacant land behind it, next to the Methven Resort. The vacant site is home to the heritage-listed Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) pipe shed. Built from a giant piece of concrete pipe created for the construction of the RDR in the 1930s, it was then converted into a storage shed for explosives. It remains on its original foundation. McElwain, and the rest of the trust board of John Corbett, Gen de Spa, Don Geddes, and Barry Maister, thanked the community board for supporting the project and including it in the recently adopted Methven Strategic Plan. The group will continue to work closely with the community board to ensure requirements, safeguards, and costs are fully understood, and to ensure a sustainable project, driven by community volunteers, McElwain said. The trust plans to have a community board representative join the trust board 'to ensure a continuing close understanding and support going forward'. The project is also preparing to announce a foundation sponsor and looking to secure others, as well as seeking new members for the planning group who have skills or time to contribute to the programme over the next several years. 'There is certainly a lot of work ahead of us and renewed community commitment to the project will be essential to ensure its success,' McElwain said. THE FINAL PLAN: The final plan, formed after community consultation and feedback, that was approved by the council includes: – A planting transect, graduating from grassland plains to bushy forest fringes, to forest, with meandering pathways for easy exploration. – Places for public to explore, rest, recreate, picnic and learn. – Attractants for native birds such as bird friendly plantings, bird feeding stations, or water features, with possibly a bird watching tower and/or birdsong listening booths. – Displays of interesting and rare native flora and fauna. – The area formerly known as the Secret Garden redesigned and renamed as the 'Nest' as an area of potential student innovation and investigation, engaging with the local primary schools. The new Ōpuke Innovation Hub at Mt Hutt College presents an exciting collaboration opportunity. – Inclusion of historical heritage items including RDR Pipe Shed. – Maintaining existing Garden of Harmony, ensuring it remains true to original intentions of demonstrating both Japanese flowering plants and New Zealand natives.

Tories back in power at district council
The political leadership at a local authority has changed hands following an annual council vote. Rochford District Council is now run as a joint administration by the Conservatives, Rochford District Residents (RDR) and the Rochford and Foulness Wakering Independents (RFWI). Until recently, the council was jointly run by the Liberal Democrats and independents. Its new leader, Conservative Danielle Belton, said the three groups would work together on "shared priorities". "Given the current uncertainty due to local government reform, we believe that transparent, engaging and member-led leadership is vital for the future of the district, and that is what we intend to deliver," she said. Local councils in England are due to be dismantled and replaced as part of a major shake-up of local government. RDR councillor John Mason was made the deputy leader and said his party would be "working for residents" in coalition with the other two groups. Arthur Williams, group leader for RFWI, said his party shared "common goals" with his cross-bench colleagues. No single political party has had a majority in Rochford in recent years. The Tories have 10 members, RDR have eight, Lib Dems have eight, RFWI have three and 10 other councillors are from independent groups. Follow Essex news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
