Today’s first day of the hearing lasted until around 5pm and mostly consisted of examination of the expert witnesses. The final day tomorrow will mostly examine the strength of the arguments being made on both sides.
It is good that the seriousness of the case has meant media attention both on a local and national scale. I have also spoken to journalists about the landfill which I will put out when available. Here is some of the coverage:
