The South Waikato town of Tīrau could be in line for a corporate fast food takeover if consent is given for the building of a Starbucks and Burger King on the main drag though town.

But, some locals don’t think the corporate giants are the right fit for the town known for its boutique cafes, antique shops and corrugated iron inspired art works and facades.

What do you think? Would you want to see these fast food outlets on State Highway 1 in Tīrau? (Please add NFP if you do not want your comments to be used in print.)

Hi Everyone,

I am making more of a habit of listening in to these meetings on line. Yes I know the sound is not always up to standard ( I rang Council about this today) but it is worth listening in.

Today was no exception as the decision on the table was whether to accept $3 mil from Government as encouraged by the Director General of Health towards the building of infrastructure required for any future decision to fluoridate water in the Central City and Eastside.

The RLC Meetings are saved and available for you to watch and listen to at your convenience. This may be one of interest to you.
