Point No	Comment
1379.5	I do not support the turf because of a) the on-going environmental issues associated with the artificial turf (greater carbon emissions, more micro plastics and more waste;b) the amount of money that has already been spent on Nelson sports facilities including Saxton field. There needs to be a better balance towards heritage and the arts.
