Welcome - congratulations on coming here to join this group of determined Residents.
This website has been set up as a point of contact for those who will be affected by the new regulations to ban all fireplaces over 15yrs old and outdoor braziers in the Blenheim airshed.
This regulation will become law unless we oppose it.
We have until 1st September 2016 to make our submissions to Council.
The intention here is to help individuals make a personal submission and to join with other people who will be forced to replace a perfectly good and affordable method of heating their homes in exchange for financial, mental and physical discomfort.
Objective:
To offer the Council some realistic and viable solutions to cleaner air, that doesn't include compulsory ban of older fire places.
Plan Forward:
How we can all make this happen:
