We Say, You Say: The Last Lake
Hi Neighbours,
An Auckland trucking company wishes to dump millions of cubic metres of industrial waste in a proposed site in Huntly, close to the only 'swimmable' lake left in the Waikato region. In 2012, a Waikato Regional Council scientist compared the nutrient levels in Waikato lakes to 1316 others globally and found them to be among the worst. This indicator has not shifted in the eight years since.
What do you think about the proposal?

Have you seen a fire engine go over a raised platform?
Traffic calming measures are delaying response times for fire crews and putting lives at risk, a group of frontline Hamilton firefighters say.
Last month Hamilton City Council slammed the brakes on a number of not-yet contracted roading projects that would have installed more raised platforms and in-lane bus stops across the city after a “tsunami” of push-back from the public.
What do you think of this new cycleway?
People are being warned not to park on a newly built cycleway in west Hamilton if they don’t want to be fined.
Construction is underway on a revamped protected cycleway on Rifle Range Road to help link Dinsdale, Frankton to Maeroa and Forest Lake.
