Weymouth Youth Prison Approved
The Environment Court has issued its final decision this week and has, I'm sorry to say, approved the Youth Prison at Whakatakapokai.
The Court has not mentioned any of the evidence or arguments put forward by the community in its decision... it has brushed us aside as if we don't matter.
Auckland Council told the Court that if the Court did approve the prison there would be a whole range of social effects that would not be addressed. However the Court has chosen to ignore this advice and simply agreed with the Minister's arguments and evidence.
An appeal is being considered. I will post more information in due course.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
