I envy my Kalavista neighbours: they are fortunate to have a council who will listen to them. They have a real opportunity to shape and protect their neighbour hood. For those of us enduring the lingering negative effects of the Coldstream Meadows (Coldstream No-Meadows)development we seem to have lost our spirit. Dr Phil talked about bait and switch and I feel kinda like we were sold a plan which was presented as a ma and apple pie valhalla and now we are left with a looming complex that imposes itself unfavourably upon the gentle view.
I watch my fellow walkers collectively holding our breath the odd time I venture past the odiferous sewer vents studding Mackie Drive . Sewers good for the environment? Please. Stinky stuff shunted beyond to stink elsewhere.
Why not give Coldstream residents a tax credit applicable upon the purchase of E friendly cleaning products, this would go a long way towards preserving the quality of ground water.
