Fireworks at risk - so are the birds

Annual "Fireworks Fantastic" staged at Trentham Memorial Park is at risk of being canned unless the Upper Hutt City Council puts money into it says the Upper Hutt Leader's front page.

The council will probably do so unless we object.

TMP is virtually a bird sanctuary with its twin areas of native forests and any fireworks especially in the nesting season, is greatly damaging towards birds. Of course the commotion of the fireworks is simply terrifying to birds. So TMP is not the place for this kind of event.

So let's make the UHCC well aware of this as if they are not already but choose to turn a blind eye - or deaf ear.
