Fireplace tile surrounds
A ridiculous council policy is being reviewed after the owner of a working fireplace had to scrap it rather than sell it to be re-used.
Nelson City Council environment committee chairwoman Rachel Reese confirmed that council procedure was being reviewed so that fireplaces banned under the council's Air Quality Plan could leave the area, rather than being cut up for scrap.
She initiated the change after reading a letter to the editor of the Nelson Mail in Wednesday's newspaper from Motueka woman Amanda Smith, who said she had bought a second-hand fireplace to take to a shed in rural Golden Bay, where fireplace emission rules are less restrictive.
But in order for the seller to receive a subsidy from the council for switching to a low-emission burner, the old fireplace had to be destroyed for scrap metal.
How ridiculous is that? Mrs Smith asked
