Things we think we should focus on

Te Aroha Spa

Don’t do it

Need more information.
Current spa is fantastic.
How about fixing old bath (entry fee) by old skate park. Park Can by very crowded - encourage people to park outside.

Provide one additional water source for Morrinsville

Educate people not to waste water. Save water from the roof to water gardens.

Facing the rubbish problem head on

Tell us what you think about Kerbside collections:
Our preferred option – changing kerbside collections from 2023
Any other comments on Kerbside collections:
Wheelie bin provided by Council to re-cycle. Keep Waihou transfer station, and [underlined] recovery centres to help re-cycle usuable items. Can create jobs by having a re-use place. Green waste can be made into compost to sell.
We don't create much waste, I don't want to pay for others waste.
Current system works well.
Tell us what you think about Resource recovery centres:
Put resource recovery centres in all three towns
Any other comments on Resource recovery centres:
More education to teach people to recycle and less waste. Plastic can be made into crates, park benches, etc.

Revitalising our town centres

Tell us what you think about Revitalising our town centres:
Don’t do it

Towns look fine as they are. Empty shops are because rents are too high and people using on-line shopping

Mountain bike skills and dog park for Te Aroha

Our preferred option – develop mountain bike skills and dog park for Te Aroha

Keep dogs out of town. Dog poo everywhere. Need more enforcement of leash laws - too many dogs running loose. Bike skills good for exercise.

Improving walking and cycling connections

Tell us what you think about Improving walking and cycling connections:
Slow but steady

Great idea, but keep rates low. New development needs to contribute to this.

See attached letter

Things we want to investigate/Looking further ahead/Things we're compromising on:

Other comments:
Te Aroha Domain is very special. Whatever is done should be complimentary to the old style. Re-do old springs/baths. Skate park can be a parcourse/ exercise area. Historic buildings are a big feature of town and should be preserved. Council doing a great job, beautiful clean town. Maybe more police because of drug problems, very obvious on Sundays near clock tower/main street.
