A group of West Coast councillors say they no longer have any confidence in their mayor after appeared to support a proposed waste-to-energy plant without telling anyone else.

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

The idea has been discussed by West Coast Regional Council after a report two years ago from University of Canterbury natural hazards Professor Tim Davies.
Davies suggested removing the stopbanks would broaden the river and lower the height of the river bed near the State Highway 6 Bailey bridge. However, the new course could inundate hundreds or thousands of hectares of farmland and force the NZ Transport Agency to move the state highway.

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

Extreme weather caused an old Westland District Council dump to erode on March 26, with rubbish floating downstream, washing up about 300 kilometres along South Westland's pristine beaches and strewn through the native bush.
The areas immediately below the landfill and out to the Fox and Franz Josef River mouths were identified as hazardous. Specialist assistance had been sought to handle those areas, Westland mayor Bruce Smith said.
