Waste Management consider use of rail for rubbish transfer

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours, the Mahurangi East Residents and Ratepayers Association have put a proposal forward to Waste Management, requesting it consider using the Northern Rail Line for its rubbish transfer to get 300 rubbish trucks off deadly SH1 in the Dome Valley, should the landfill gain council approval. MERRA said it is against the landfill being built in the beautiful environment the Dome Valley is known for, but put forward the idea knowing the landfill proposal is driven by a powerful need.
The "under-used" rail line passes nearby Waste Management's property border (pictured).

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
