A casual observer would have to ask themselves just what the hell is going on?
One group of people want to grow grapes and another want to sleep at night. The two activities should be able to be carried out simultaneously. This is not rocket science.
The problem comes about because of a lack of identifying the problem and acting to ensure that it won't impact either party.
The fault lies predominantly with the Marlborough District Council in its lack of fortitude and an inability to take responsibility for ensuring the productivity of the land and the health of its residents are adequately addressed.
The end result is a situation where one party has an imbalance of affect over the other, and logically the squealing has begun.
Now residents cannot sleep and are livid at a failure to protect their basic right to sleep and growers in a need to try and protect themselves from a potential kneejerk action (now that the mater of the legal ramifications of poisoning the environment are raised) are having to look like idiots by claiming that the current measures themselves are too draconian.
In the middle is the MDC. Happy to let the ship of fools sail on so long as their own personal interests are not impacted.
Or are they going to take some responsibility for the situation?
