THE OWAKA pit – what a longwinded<br />
saga this has been.<br />
On pages 6-7, reporters Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding and Bridget<br />
Rutherford give an insight into why.<br />
It seems our elected community<br />
board members and councillors<br />
can’t actually get access to reports<br />
done by their own council staff<br />
without a fight.<br />
And that includes what the<br />
council is doing about getting rid<br />
of the waste at Owaka.<br />
Residents in the area deserve<br />
better and when we questioned<br />
council staff over their stance they<br />
didn’t take a backward step.<br />
Now that might not be so bad if<br />
things were getting sorted but in<br />
the case of Owaka it hasn’t been.<br />
There’s still a lot of waste to get<br />
rid of.<br />
But on a brighter note the<br />
Deans farm buildings in Riccarton<br />
will be restored. Good stuff.<br />
