NEWLANDS FOOTBALL RUBY CRICKET SOFTBALL DOGS AND WALKING PARK
Does anyone know what's happening at the park with the mountains of sand courtesy of Hammond Spreading, Wairarapa? Apart from the fact they have completely obliterated the 2 disabled car parks this also poses a serious H&S risk especially to young children and dogs as they are at risk of being buried and suffocating in the sand! The WCC does not appear to know nor are they interested - they've got their rates increases off the able bodied and disabled members of the community so it's not their problem!
