MARTIN DE RUYTER/STUFF A pub that came up with an answer to freedom camping pollution problems feels it's been kicked in the teeth by its local council. The council agreed to review its freedom camping bylaw, establish a Freedom Camping Working Group, and rethink where its official sites are situated, ensuring they're away from registered campsites. Westland District Council declined to comment because its spokesperson for freedom camping issues was not available. It said its sites would become operational "over time" and the Woodstock Hotel was entitled to continue offering free sites.
