The 4000 bales of rubbish at a site on Spencerville Rd, owned by Renew Energy Ltd (REL) and ERP Group Ltd, are destined for a yet-to-be-built waste-to-energy plant in Belfast.
REL also intends to store up to 10 times as much waste at a site on Blakes Rd,in Belfast, for five years while it builds the South Island's first waste-to-energy plant. Its consent application is currently on hold while more detail is sought by ECan.
Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey says residents are concerned about the proximity of the site to houses, a large aquifer and a stream, a cemetery, and a meatworks. Read more: here

As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.
Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.
Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

For over 6 years now Waimak Irrigation Limited WIL have been trying to build a 1 Km square 13 M high above ground water storage pond that contains 8.2 million cubic metres of water. The embankments of this structure will be dirt, lined with a 1.5mm plastic lining. They would have us believe that this will never fail!! However what about the overdue Alpine Fault? Also they say via experts they have engaged from GNS Wellington that " the ground has not been disturbed for 18,00 years, well hey what about the Greendale fault, just across the river, again ground that has not been disturbed for 18,000 years which opened up 1 meter and moved laterally by 5 metres in recent earthquake activety.These GNS experts also came up with an EEP an Emergency Evacuation Plan that stated evacuation was possible on paper roads that simply do not exist, there is only one way to escape this and that would be down South Eyre Road and over the one lane bridge, but guess where they propose to de water this dam-down the Eyre River, yes if it takes out the one lane bridge we are trapped! The attached document that arrived in my mailbox some 6 years ago, off handedly states that in a failure of this dam there will be "only a few fatalities" how obnoxious is this. Apparently 6 inches of fast running water will knock you off your feet I have observed toddlers playing in paddocks and met a guy more or less permanently hooked up to a dialysis machine who would not stand a chance if this thing let go.Here in Downs road we would have 1.2 Meters of water. We do not need this in our community so insist that they either dig a hole or move it nearer to the Waimak river so if it lets go the water merely goes back into the river.In the intervening 6 years there have been constructed 23 on farm storage ponds of only a permitted 3Metres high, if one of these lets go people will only get their feet wet!.This is written out of concern for the safety of people living in this area.
Hey neighbours, how do you feel about this divisive household dilemma?
Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?

Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?
It's one of many home dilemmas we come across on Homed, along with toilet paper over or under? cutlery up or down in the dishwasher? top sheet or no top sheet?, to name a few. Read more about the arguments for each and see how many people agree with you, here.
How many of you have heard of Arapawa Island? If you've got 10 friends or family (remember those social distancing rules), it's only $35 a night for this island escape.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.
But many have been hit hard.
Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.
Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.
You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
