Well over 100 Waimate residents took to the streets to show their disapproval of a proposal to build a rubbish incinerator in the Waimate district. The weekday march, which started at the Basilica carpark and concluded at the Waimate Event Centre, where SIRRL held information-sharing sessions, was a testament to the community’s determination to be heard. With slogans like ‘TRUCK OFF’ and ‘SHIT IN YOUR BACK YARD’, the community’s message was loud and clear.
