A North Canterbury community group plans to take the regional council to court after a second tyre fire in three years sent toxic black smoke into the sky.
He said Friday s fire was a “dreadfully sad indictment on so many players”, particularly regional council Environment Canterbury (ECan). “For too long they have left this issue unresolved or even managed to minimise the risk of a large scale fire . by being the responsible party to the situation they are the accountable party.”

The smoke could be seen from nearby towns, including Christchurch 45km away. Accountability Action planned to lodge an application next week to take ECan to the Environment Court, he said. Fenz said fire crews from Amberley, Waipara, Woodend, Waikari, Sefton, Rangiora and a command unit from Christchurch fought the blaze, which produced “thick black smoke”.

A company director has been ordered to fork out more than $50,000 after leaving North Canterbury residents infuriated by failing to remove a massive pile of tyres from a yard in Amberley. Annexure Services Ltd director Peter George Benden was fined $36,000 by the Environment Court on Wednesday for contravening a court order by not removing the tyres. Benden was also ordered to pay $20,000 towards Environment Canterbury s (ECan) expenses to have the tyres removed. “You have been party to a problem imposed on a community, which you do not have the means to resolve,” Judge John Hassan told him.
