Friends of mine who live on a street in Nelson, called Weka Street—I have a number of friends who live on that street; it's very close to Trafalgar Park—wrote to me earlier this year and said "Our neighbourhood was previously plagued with non - self-contained campers parked on our streets overnight, with urinating in our gutters and on our footpaths. Worse was deposited under the bushes in the park, of course, and occasionally on our front lawns, mine included." What my friends have said to me is that they want the Government to ensure that our whenua does not, yet again, became a communal open-air toilet for travellers from around the world. The timing of introducing this legislation by the Minister is incredibly helpful in order to ensure that, as we do open up, when people come in and enjoy our beautiful natural environment they do so in a way that respects our environment and respects our people.
