Rubbish in the river
My wife has just returned from swimming in the river at Delamere Rd and said a guy came down carrying a black plastic rubbish bag, friendly and said hello, went out to the edge of the rocks and sat down away from where she was swimming. When he left she noticed the bag was scrunched up in his hand and obviously empty.
Description: Grey haired, glasses, 50-60's, T-shirt & shorts and wearing a high vis vest with a small dog white/brown.
This is just NOT ON – keep your eyes out: and YOU – don't dirty our river!
New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.
Are you keen to share your experience on what you found easy and what was hard? Please email olivia.wannan@stuff.co.nz or leave a message below. Thanks all :)
