Observations at Howick Beach

I am saddened by the number of homeless people sleeping in their vehicles at Howick Beach especially as winter approaches.

These people keep to themselves and tidy up after themselves. They are not a problem and I am hoping that they find somewhere warm soon.

I regularly go to Howick Beach to pick up glass fragments and general litter and usually there is enough rubbish to fill a bread bag. What I have noticed is there is a lot of large family-sized take away packaging that overflows from the bins. Some litter doesn’t even get anywhere near the bin. Please take your rubbish a few steps further along the grass and use the other bins about 4 metres up the carpark to another bin. If there are no bins empty enough, please take your rubbish home.

One thing I saw just [a few] days ago which concerned me was the blatant dumping of pruning waste. It could only have come from one of the properties on Marine Parade. I took photos with my phone of the prunings and where it appeared to come from.

When I went down to the beach yesterday [April 8], there were two ladies and a man raking up some of the garden waste. I passed a comment about the seaweed that often gets washed up on the beach, but this was obviously deliberate. I thanked them and went on my way. When they thought they were out of earshot, one of the women said,

“That was the lady who was taking the photos.”

Interesting comment. Makes you think what made her say that.

On a completely different note, I was pleased to see the road repairs on Marine Parade, where there was some serious erosion and the road has been resurfaced.

Now what about the entrance to the beach form the actual entrance to the coastguard building. Temporary repairs were done in time for the picnic, but it still needs a complete resurface, not the patchwork that is there now.
