L.P.G. storage
Sir, — Since the Liquigas consortium dropped their L.P.G. bombshell that they were not bound by the Town and Country Planning Act, they have been remarkably quiet. I trust they are now considering other safe methods for getting L.P.G. into Christchurch. After a lifetime connected with the sea and being a commercial fisherman for many years, it is my opinion that the pumping ashore of L.P.G. from a tanker moored to a buoy, in Pegasus Bay, is most logical and the safest. In the event of a major escape of gas, it could dissipate
in comparative safety, rather than threaten terrible danger to the citizens of Lyttelton, as with the consortium’s present scheme. — Yours, etc., STAN HEMSLEY. March 25, 1981.
