Rural rights
• After reading the submissions to the District Plan Volume Two and fielding phone calls of concern it is time for people of the rural community to speak out. The plan is trying to regulate people to the extremes and has left common sense and people' s rights behind. Why should a farmer have to obtain permission and pay a fee to bureaucrats to carry out their normal farming functions? A permitted activity requires, under (section) 3.5, the notification of 10 working days to Council to trim, clear or modify indigenous vegetation. How absurd and ridiculous that we are being made to meet conditions that lack common sense. We must stop the district plan and fight for our rights as they are being taken away without people realising. I ask all rural people to speak out now and to become militant if necessary to protect your property and rights before it is too late.
