Vehicle (Mitsubishi) key (wireless type) found

Rewi from Rangiora

I found this Mitsubishi key on a ring this morning on the Tarapiroe trail (Northside of the Ashley River.) A bit battered but looks like it will still work. It has a very distinctive Madonna and Child emblem attached to the ring

Since my last comment on the subject I've spent a bit of time getting up to speed on the details of this proposal - and Wow, what you find when you kick over a rock or look behind the curtain!

I've read through the developer's proposed plan, the resource consent application, comments on various social media sites, a disturbing letter from the developer to the Council's chief exec and talked with a few folk.

To put it really, really bluntly "WTF"! This proposal is getting ramrodded up our collective arses, like it or not - it's non-notified.

The proposal contravenes the rules set down by the WDC governing development standards. Consultants have been brought in to 'justify' the non-compliance. Even the Fire Dept had their objections over-ruled - so much for our Health and Safety, eh?

Now the resource consent is heading straight to a Commissioner (9.30 am on Monday) for approval - because the WDC must be a bit concerned about future community backlash (no kidding! Butt covering time, lol).

Get used to the idea people - we're getting a Truck Stop, because the rest of the plan is non-binding and not commercially viable anyway (it's a 100kph trunk road, no pedestrian access from Millfield Estate, and we're too low a population density anyway - shops struggle even in towns!
