Parrish & Heimbecker confirms plan to built a grain shipping terminal on Picton Bay
Picton Terminals, Wellington Wastewater Infrastructure, and the Queen Elizabeth School on the agenda
Certainly, anyone who cares about sustaining local farmers, or the County’s primarily agricultural economy, or just about plain farmland, never mind the history of this place and its revered farming families, would have felt pulled in at least a couple of directions at the news that P & H was partnering with Picton Terminals to build a grain shipping port on Picton Bay.
Letter states, “there can be no valid or binding agreement between Council and Picton Terminals.”
Promise of new bulk grain shipping facility at the port brings back memories of days gone by
There is only one way to say it. Forcing an international container shipping port and industrial zone on a small, scenic harbour at the centre of a County trying mightily to establish itself as a world-class destination of outstanding natural and cultural beauty is just plain wrong.

The municipality needs another water treatment plant — or two. Either development pays for it, or rate and tax payers will.
