Better Save Than Sorry.

It is great to here the toxic tip site at Marfell Park get the all clear. With a recommendation from the independent expert Graeme Profitt that council should have a management plan in place to control such excavation works in future. It is good NPDC manager of community assets Anthony Wilson take heed of his recommondations. If he had in the first instance the Marfell community would have been a lot happer. Instead of now having concerns and being sceptical of NPDC management of any possible future health risks. And know wonder when the NPDC community assets manager said due to incomplete historic records it thought the waste was only buried further up the valley. You would think the NPDC policy would be to be better save than sorry when dealing with any known or suspected dump sites in around New Plymouth. As Marfell Park has proved one if not all the known sites have the potental to contain harmful toxic waste. even the ones tested and deemed save.
