Landfill opponents come together
Environmental lawyer Andrew Braggins took questions from the crowd.
Unity, hope and determination were on display in Wellsford today, when around 200 people packed into the Community Centre for an anti-landfill hui organised by Fight the Tip: Tiaki Te Whenua.
An enthusiastic and vocal crowd loudly applauded vows from Fight the Tip members, MPs, councillors, iwi leaders and an environmental lawyer to fight Waste Management and Auckland Council and stop the development of a new regional dump in the Dome Valley. Welcome to the second battle in front of us, Fight the Tip executive Mikaera Miru said. The whole community, Maori and Pakeha, are together fighting against bureaucrats who are simply not listening to who we are.
Hill St funded
Work on the new-look Hill Street could start as early as next year.
A major upgrade to the troubled Hill Street intersection now looks certain after Auckland Council’s Planning Committee confirmed funding for it last week.
The Planning Committee overwhelmingly voted for a revised Regional Land Transport Plan, which included $4.7 million to fix Hill Street.
The funding was due to be confirmed by the Auckland Transport (AT) board this week, but Rodney Councillor Greg Sayers said this was essentially a rubber-stamping exercise.
The $4.7 million represents only one quarter of the cost of fixing Hill Street, the remainder of the money will have to come from the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA).
