Many determined to stay in Tokoroa despite industry closures

Carter Holt Harvey confirmed yesterday that it will be closing its Tokoroa Plywood Plant... leaving 119 workers without a job. It comes just months after the town's paper mill closed its doors, cutting another 130 jobs. It's a tough time for the timber industry, with five mills closing over the past year. With jobs dwindling, Tokoroa locals may be forced to leave to find work, but many remain determined to stay in their home town. Evie Richardson reports.
