Poll: Do you support Waste Management's new landfill bringing 300+ trucks onto Dome Valley's SH1 per day?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

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.
