Council buy a whopper

Our local councillor Ted Hungerford emailed me to let me know that council have bought the story from the owner that he was clearing weeds, and so no further action will be taken.

I wonder if anyone with qualifications in Weed Identification has been involved.  

All the evidence points to the destruction of native species and infact, DERM have recorded a list of species to be protected on this block. It is now virtually all cleared.
