Residents outraged at proposed dump site

Residents living near a proposed landfill site on the outskirts of South Auckland say the roads aren't equipped for the 192 truck movents it will bring a day, and they are convinced it will lead to someone losing their life. Scarbro Environment has applied for resource consent to dump clean fill waste from construction in an area almost one-and-half times the size of Wellington's Sky Stadium. Auckland Council's considering 500 submissions on the proposal - and locals are gearing up for a potential legal battle if it gets the green light. One of the neighbours of the proposed fill site, Jo Taylor spoke to Lisa Owen.
