Emissions alert!

Less than interesting news from the Sustainable Bay of Plenty people using data from Statistics NZ that was two years out of date.

Well of course the BOP's emissions have doubled - we're still dragging in new residents and businesses as fast as we can. For what reason, when our roads are overwhelmed, our homeless have filled every available motel and are camping in parks and reserves?

We may as well park our 166 empty buses around town and let the homeless sleep in them for the number of people using them. Please don't tell us that it improves the BOP's economy, that it makes Tauranga more vibrant or a better place to live; nobody believes that anymore.

Growth doesn't pay for growth, ratepayers do and it goes on and on.

Spare us the 'Three Waters” bull, the unending road reconstructions designed for everything except cars, and the sports fields now destined to be low cost housing (yeah, right) and send them and the people who organise this stuff somewhere else.

Dan Russell, Tauranga.
