Poll: Did you make a submission?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Waipā Mayor Susan O’Regan is not alone in objecting to the planned waste-to-energy plant at Te Awamutu - the vast majority of submitters also rejected the plans.

The proposed $200m-plus facility is expected to take about 480 tonnes of refuse a day, burning it to generate steam to turn into electrical power. Ahead of hearings on whether it should go ahead, the Waikato Times ran the rule over the 43-page Environmental Protection Authority submissions report.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
