The Rubbish

And here it is "The Rubbish". This was photographed
between September and November 2007 and was used
as evidence showing the scope of the problem.
This was sent via another blog link to Wai Care,
Auckland Harbour News, Auckland Regional Council (ARC)
and Auckland City Council (ACC).

The Harbour News responded quite quickly as
result the link below is the first of three articles
on this issue. Many thanks to Cleo Fraser.

It wasn't until the article hit the streets and another
series of emails to the Councils that they finally woke
to the issue. But they sent some inspector who claimed
that he walked 80% of the creek and only found a piece
of cardboard. Straight on the phone I was to get to
the bottom of this. With more too and trowing they
finally got me in touch with David Bowden the

Park volunteer co-ordinator for ACC. Around the end
of November David meet up me and we walked around
the areas of concern. The planning stage had begun.
David and I organized the first clean up to happen at
the beginning of March 2008.
