“The route the pipeline follows were significant traditional transport and food gathering areas for Māori, and we have to ensure we work in this environment with the utmost level of care and respect,” Hall said. “The area is an important archaeological, cultural and spiritual site, it’s a landscape that’s dominated by rock art sites on the limestone bluffs around the river which is of national and international significance.’’ Along the route of the pipeline there were also a number of suspected pre-1900 bridges and culverts, so the council was also involved in the protection of those, he said.
“Most people tend to think that a good rainfall might ‘flush the system out’,’’ Hall said. “However, a large rainfall can flush polluted water through the system as well as clean water, and there are limits to how much treatment we can do to the water while ensuring the system prevents flooding. “The best thing everyone can do is to reduce the amount of contaminants in the storm water system in the first place.” Hall said there were some simple messages to remember as people did their handiwork. These include not hosing household cleaners, paint or any other chemicals down the storm water drain.

HarryFromBath assesses the mood in the opposition camp ahead of Wednesday’s Boxing Day game at Loftus Road by delving into their forums.
“Can you believe it? A bloody Rangers win at Nottingham Forest!”, “QPR had never won away at Forest in all competitions (drew 14, lost 20), the most a team has played away at another without ever winning in all competitions in English football”, “A 1-0 win, the world has been upside down.”
“Giddy times.” Rangers head into Wednesday’s game with their tails up after recording a historic win at the City Ground on Saturday. This victory followed on from the previous weekend’s 2-1 win over promotion-chasing Middlesbrough and propelled the West Londoners up to 10th place in the table.
