A pragmatic solution to a 10-year-old problem....
Stuff - The Press: 6-Aug-2020
And now it seems that these elected representatives are going told off like naughty schoolboys after being summoned to a "please explain" meeting at Council. And told to lawyer-up.
No doubt they will be fined for:
- not having a health & safety plan for the work;
- not having a temporary traffic management plan in place for working on the portion near the road;
- not having completed a myriad of paperwork and planning and design for the temporary work that in turn would require review and approval by Council Consultants;
- not having completed contaminant testing of he water and suspended solids contained therein before drainage;
- not have ECan consent to move water from A to B;
- not having Council consent to drain water into a public stormwater drain;
- displaying a no-nonsense approach to a problem that was being ignored by Council;
- showing Council that simple works can be done at a minor cost (Council spent $8k to simply plug the Mauger drain!!)'
- showing common sense;
- embarrassing Council and Council Contractors.
Perhaps Mr Mauger should consider billing Council for his time and equipment?
