Rubbish disposal sites
Sir, — Helen Cook’s reference to so-called “exports” makes one wonder whether she believes she has the same qualifications as the engineers who designed the scheme. Her comment that because Cr Calvert and I wrote to the Commission of the Environment on behalf of our riding, we cannot also be motivated by concern for the whole community is as ridiculous as her over-use of that word in her letter. She seems unable to understand that the Styx transfer station was sited in relation to sites in the city and Paparua and is part of a logical pattern, to serve all of Christchurch. Of course people travel over riding roads going to and from a dump site, this is inescapable, but. the closer they are placed to the area
they serve the less spread of rubbish there will be. — Yours, etc., M. P. HOBBY, Harewood Riding Member, Waimairi County Council. May 27, 1978. [This correspondence is now closed.]
