STOP THE QUARRY update from Phil and Marilyn Davison

Cara from Rangiora

Taggarts proposal to form a quarry in and around the Rangiora Racecourse

The deadline for submissions, both verbal and written is coming up on Friday 27th November – only 10 days away. They can be made on-line or with the form 520 available from the Waimakariri Council or from Marilyn Davison ph 027 343 5005.

There have been a large number of people complaining that they didn’t know anything about it, in spite of close to 5,000 signatures being received in recent on-line, western residential home walk-arounds and library based forms.

To help rectify this some social media platforms are now involved to let others be heard in addition to the almost 100% support of opposition from our working group that has been meeting at 5 Stags on most Monday nights at 7pm.

Many at the public meeting particularly were keen to show their support against the Taggart proposal by peaceful protests.

To that end there will be such a protest outside Taggarts property on Cones Road Rangiora from 9am where respectful signs could be held to express their opinions if you wish. We have obtained 28 ex Real Estate flute board posters available to anyone who would like one. Just let Marilyn Davison know before Saturday and we can drop off to you.

If you do come please stand across the road, so that you do not hold up their operations or passing traffic.

The health of our community is at stake. We need to have clean air and water, free from pollutions of our aquifers and waterways.

Hopefully we will have enough volunteers to deliver flyers around local streets in the next few days.

Thank you everyone for your fantastic support – together we can win. Let the people speak.

Marilyn and Phil Davison
