Dog droppings

Rosemary from Nawton

I walk my dog every evening and I usually walk on Bartholomew Drive. In the last month I have been disgusted to see numerous dog droppings, especially on the eastern side. These are obviously the droppings of large dogs. What sort of people allow their dogs to foul the paths and berms without picking it all up after them? I always collect my own dog's 'doings' and it's not difficult so why can't others do the same? I don't carry enough bags to collect all the droppings that are left for people to walk on. It certainly spoils our lovely neighborhood.

Wondering what's the latest on the Sleepyhead development?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A massive company town development that would allow bedmaker Sleepyhead to move its workforce out of Auckland to Waikato has hit a snag... over where to put the poo.

The inability to hook up to a fully compliant Huntly wastewater treatment plant could slow progress at Sleepyhead Estate’s major Ohinewai industrial and housing development site, a local councillor warns.
