Call for an independent review into council rubbish tender
New Hutt City councillor Glenda Barratt has been on the job less than a week, but she’s already calling for answers over Lower Hutt’s controversial rubbish and recycling system.
She plans to call for an “independent” investigation into the $6-million-a-year rates-funded rubbish and recycling scheme, which was introduced in July but has run into some difficulties.
Separately, Michael Ellis, a Lower Hutt resident who has worked in the procurement sector for more than 20 years and has held roles on council boards, has laid a complaint about the rubbish tender process with the Office of the Auditor-General.
What is your view of the new rubbish and recycling system?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
