Poll: Do you like the idea of a waste-to-energy plant in Te Awamutu?
A $200m-plus plan to make electricity through burning rubbish is back on the cards for Te Awamutu.
Opponents say the proposed plant would be a “toxic incinerator” but Global Contracting Solutions (GCS) has applied for resource consent and says it stands by the science.
The facility proposed for Racecourse Rd would incinerate 150,000 tonnes of waste a year and generate electricity from steam, Waipā District Council said.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
