West Coast rubbish debacle a 'national emergency' that needs more funding to clean up
Rubbish will be left strewn across West Coast beaches unless the Government can stump up more money, the Westland District Council says.
The $300,000 already granted to help the clean-up of 75 kilometres of coast after torrential rainfall and flooding caused the historic Fox Glacier landfill to disintegrate late in March is just not enough, according to Westland mayor Bruce Smith.
He said the council needed at least another $750,000 to continue with the clean-up.
