Wellington Street Beach Warning
Be careful when walking to the right hand side of the Wellington St Beach in Ham East.
On Saturday the river was quite low and I started noticing rusty nails in and around the waters edge to the right of the Wellington Street Beach.
After filling up a catering sized coffee bag (thanks Hayes Common) I went home and got a bucket and filled that with more metal and glass items that were just buried under the surface in the same area.
From the rusty colour of the water I suspect I only touched the surface of the issue. Its disturbing considering what is buried is normally covered in water and leaching into our river :( I've contacted the council but had no reply yet
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Do you recognise these people?
Police investigating a serious assault in Matangi are asking the public for help in identifying the offenders.
Two people were trying to speak to the occupants of a dark-coloured Ford Falcon on Saturday night that was doing noisy burnouts in the semi-rural area.
