A Community Civic Service is being held at the Clocktower at 12.15pm today to remember the victims and everyone affected by Monday’s tragedy at the Ashburton Work and Income office.
The service is being organised by the Mayor, Ashburton District Council and the Ministers’ Association and is open to all members of the public who want to pay their respects and remember the lives of Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland.
The families of the victims continue their request for privacy and ask that they are not approached by media. They will not be issuing any statements to media at this time.
