Overnight campers lsel entrance

Barry from Stoke

Over the last few weeks on my daily walk I have noticed a big influx of campervans and people sleeping in smaller vehicles overnight on this entrance driveway to front gate I am aware that there are three spaces available near the gate which are marked in blue paint for overnighting. Has this whole driveway now designated for campers overnighting. I have counted up to 30 vehicles on any morning. As a lot of these parks are used by park users and nearby workers it would seem that they are forced to park elsewhere Just wondering if there has been a change of policy or perhaps the legitimate camping grounds are full.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
