The group of Prebbleton residents decided to start a Givealittle page last month for people to donate to their fight against the planned Waste Management Ltd plant. The Waste Management Ltd site on Marshs Rd. Resource consent was granted for the proposed plant by the Christchurch City Council in December 2018. It ran a limited notified consent process, which meant only people within 500m of the proposed facility had a chance to have their say.
