Things we think we should focus on

Te Aroha Spa

Tell us what you think about Te Aroha Spa:
Any other comments on Te Aroha Spa:
I live in Morrinsville. I would not support this expenditure. This is a private business venture that someone can embrace

Tell us what you think about Additional water sources for Morrinsville:
Provide one additional water source for Morrinsville
Any other comments on Additional water sources for Morrinsville:
Yes - water supply needs upgrading. This year I have had to put in Storage tanks. I understand there is already allowances at Lockerbie estate to support Morrinsvilles water demand.

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:
Our household takes a while to fill a rubbish bag & the recycle bin goes out monthly. foodscraps go into our garden, so I don't want a foodscrap bin.
I would be concerned for those people who don't have a vehicle to transport rubbish to recycle centre.
Tell us what you think about Resource recovery centres:
Put resource recovery centres in all three towns
Any other comments on Resource recovery centres:
Many households couldn't afford to drive to another town so having a centre in each town would be good.
What about unwanted rubbish that turns up?

Revitalising our town centres

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

All towns look good. Gardens are well maintained. The owners of the buildings could do their bit to upgrade the road frontage.

Make a cycling circuit (or walking) in Morrinsville connect some of the paths that already exist.

Dog park in Matamata

There is a green belt through Matamata - plenty of dog exercise area.
What do you think about our proposed limits for rates and debt?
Wouldn't like to see rates increase.
I am in an older age group and only use our green spaces for walking + biking.
What do you think about our plans for our other projects?
Morrinsville Rec. Ground is an amazing facility, well used + multi purpose.
More camping available - not just in the carpark.
Cycleway - Morrinsville-Te Aroha. How well used would it be.

Other comments:
NB I tired to do this online but impossible to download in order to provide comments on all topics.
I would love a safe cycling path around Morrinsville or out to Horrell Road. Existing paths could be connected.
Somehow our Rates could be adjusted - or use pays for Rubbish disposal. I wouldn't like to see a rates increase for rubbish disposal if I don't use it all the time. At present I pay for a green waste disposal bin, firewood is stored and plants composted.
We pay for a trailerload of rubbish (green waste) about once a year.
