Some Whakatane residents could end up having their council bins confiscated for three months. The District Council is bringing in a three-strike rule for people repeatedly putting the wrong items in recycling and green waste bins. The Council's solid waste manager, Nigel Clarke, says he doesn't get why people keep doing it. "We tried to provide the education to help people recycle correctly, but it is just that small minority that just don't want to get on board."

Reprise des activités sur l'Île aux Bénitiers: ‘de nouvelles réglementations et restrictions en place, les opérateurs devront respecter les nouvelles conditions,' souligne Khemraj Ortoo, président du District Council de Rivière Noire by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Depuis décembre 2020, Bon Accueil avait été identifié comme site d'implantation d'un marché moderne d'un coût estimé à Rs 60 millions, financé par le gouvernement central. Mais selon Roshan Seetohul, ancien vice-président du Conseil de district de Flacq et actuel conseiller du village, le District Council vient d'informer les habitants que ce projet a été retiré : « C'est une décision incompréhensible et injuste pour notre village », dénonce-t-il. Roshan Seetohul ajoute que, si le District Council estime ce marché non viable, il doit toutefois restituer cette somme au village pour réaliser d'autres projets. Contacté, le président du District Council, Dhanraj Kissoon, explique qu'en effet ce projet n'est pas viable. Il souligne qu'à Lallmatie, par exemple, les marchands doivent chaque semaine remballer leurs étals. C'est pourquoi, plutôt qu'un marché classique, le Council envisage la construction d'un abri multifonctionnel pour permettre aux marchands de travailler sous un espace couvert.
