Celebrating Colin's Service to Our Community

At the end of this month, we mark the retirement of our much-valued Warden, Colin, and take the opportunity to recognise his exceptional dedication to our community.

Colin began his career in public service as a police officer, retiring from the Police Force in 1987. Following this, he continued his commitment to serving others by taking on the role of Cemetery Warden, and later becoming Warden for TRPC.

Over the course of 38 years, Colin has shown unwavering dedication, professionalism, and care in his work. His role has gone far beyond day-to-day responsibilities; he has been a constant, trusted presence and has made a lasting contribution to the wellbeing and dignity of our community spaces.

As Colin steps into retirement, we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for his many years of service. His commitment and hard work will be remembered with great respect, and he leaves behind a legacy of service that will not be forgotten.

We wish Colin every happiness and fulfilment in his well-earned retirement.

This process requires them to fill the tank with inert gas and venting some of it through the vent stack. The venting will be noisy in the area around the plant.
