Many thanks to everyone who has donated to the ‘Sanity not Sewage Overflows’ fundraising campaign so far. The first week of the hearings for the proposed Akaroa Wastewater system were held in November. We were impressed by the detailed and probing questions asked of the Council by the Hearing Panel. Our expert evidence and legal submissions so far have made a big difference to the process raising up the issues that the Panel needs to delve into.
Hearings reconvene in Akaroa on January 28/29th with Friends of Banks Peninsula and our experts presenting on February 11th. Please come along to support us, and please talk to your friends and relatives over the holidays about the wastewater issue. We are still fundraising to maximise the expert and legal support for our case for February 11th. More donations are very appreciated!
