If you want a reality check, consider how the Tauranga City Council is gaslighting us about their Kerbside rubbish collection mandate for next year.

Read the information/research conducted by the Papamoa Ratepayers Association that follows on from their petition against the TCC's action.

You can go directly to the petition at: https://www.taurangarubbishoptions.com/submission . Then just keep scrolling down.

Find a petition in your area and sign it.

At the very least TCC's decision needs further scrutiny.

More credible proposals come from your letters to the editor, then come from the council.
