Poll: Do you support Waste Management's new landfill bringing 300+ trucks onto Dome Valley's SH1 per day?
Waste Management has been given approval to buy land on SH1 in the Dome Valley between Wellsford and Warkworth for a proposed landfill. In the first few years of operation, there could be up to 300 return trips by waste trucks which will increase to 500 return trips by 2060. These figures aren't inclusive of landfill staff, service vehicles and visitors. This stretch of road in Dome Valley happens to be one of New Zealand's deadliest.
Please put 'NFP' if you don't want to be quoted.

Animal Abuser
🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
