Wastewater problems; then and today
Firstly I would like to compliment Councillor Helen Swailes for her transport piece in this weeks Upper Hutt Leader.
I feel that this government is pushing barrows on many fronts far too fast.
In 2019 I sent an article that I had written relating to waste disposal and problems associated with it. It went with a covering letter to the appropriate ministers likely to be involved but apart from kind acknowledgments and that the enclosure had been sent to officials no more has been heard.
I have attached a copy with an addition at the end and ask you a question.
Do you flush paper, solids and fats down the sink or drain?
If so. Why? Lack of understanding about their possible implications. Couldn't care less. Easy option.
I would like to hear from you. Many thanks.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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?
