Locals calling for the closure of a Levin landfill

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 4 November 2021

Community groups are calling for local action to support their campaign to close the notorious leaching Levin Landfill at Hōkio Beach this year.

An organisation called Over It, which is a coalition of individuals and community organisations in the area, wants authorities to permanently close the dump because, they say, its leaching badly. 

Jesse speaks to David Moore from Over It about their concerns and their planned protest next week.
