The company wants to move its extraction operation to the racecourse, which is closer to Cones Rd and will reduce wear and tear on the council's roading infrastructure, and provide revenue for the racecourse.
An online petition against the proposal raised 2500 signatures in a week, with residents saying a quarry would devalue their houses by creating noise, dust, odour and breathing issues.
What do you think about the proposal? Read the full story here and tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Overcharged me for work on my bike, didn't call me to let me know it was going to cost more (more than double what we talked about). Made me make payment before i could get my bike back. Set my chain tension to hard, ie there was literally no movement in it at all. Was not interested in coming to a resolution over cost.

Help needed - Please Share - It's that time of the year again... well, in New Zealand anyway. Unwanted baby calves are being sent to slaughter and it's happening right now. I've got the first arrival this week (4 days old) and it's hard to choose which ones are going to come home and to leave the others behind... We could do with a bit of help - calf milk powder, bottles and teats, covers, straw and hay.. we are based in Woodend and drop-offs would be absolutely amazing! I know we can't save them all but: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.” Quote - Schindler's List.

Rangiora’s Ivan Rupene-Ryan only received an official diagnosis of superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) in recent months, but has lived with the progressive intolerance to noise since his first episode almost two years ago.
He hopes his noise issues will be rectified through surgery. He is due to have otolaryngology surgery in two weeks and while he knows that comes with its own risks, he has to go through with it to give himself any chance at a return to normal life.
He wanted to share his story to let anyone else living with the condition know they were not alone and to try to improve others’ understanding of what it was like to live with such a condition constantly.

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

Staff Sergeant van Arendonk was presented with a Chief of Defence Force Commendation by Chief of Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short at a ceremony in Wellington.
His citation noted he had a complex role as operations instructor of the Multinational Force and Observers, which oversees the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, and had “exceeded all expectations for his rank and trade”.
Congratulations Staff Sergeant van Arendonk.

Surveys have found that while native birds like silvereye (tauhou) and fantail (piwakawaka) have always been common in the reserve, previously rare species like shining cuckoo (pīpīwharauroa) and tomtit (ngirungiru) have now increased in abundance.
