The Horizons Regional Council has found itself facing a barrage of criticism again.
Where once it was a few environmental groups upset at its soft touch on intensive farming, others have joined the queue.
Fish & Game continues to hammer it over the way it is regulating intensive farming more than a year after the Environment Court ruled the way it was doing so was "unlawful and "invalid" with no new process in place.
Last week Horowhenua hapu and locals called for commissioners to be brought in over the state of fresh water in the district.
Then Whanganui District Council chief executive Kym Fell piled in for the opposite reason, saying Horizons was grasping at straws in prosecuting it for discharging wastewater into the Mowhanau Stream when a Powerco fuse blew.
