Residents none the wiser after Amberley tyre fire hearing

From Morning Report, 7:41 am on 12 February 2021

There are still no answers for frustrated North Canterbury locals who want to know when the toxic waste from a huge tyre fire will be removed.

The mountain of 160,000 tyres were deliberately set alight two weeks ago sending thick black plumes across the town of Amberley.

Authorities held a two hour community meeting last night to answer questions but many residents left feeling none the wiser.
