David Nottage: Ruapehu District Councillor on the rubbish dumping along the Desert Road detour

  • Summary

  • There's frustration about rubbish dumping along the Desert Road detour.

    State Highway 1 between Tūrangi and Waiōuru closed in mid-January for about two months of roadworks.

    The detour, which runs through State Highways 41, 47, 4, and 49 has seen a noticeable rise in rubbish.

    Ruapehu District Councillor David Nottage has been picking up the rubbish himself.

    He told Andrew Dickens it's more than people throwing a few things out the window.

    Nottage says it's hard to believe people are carrying that much around while they travel, so they may be taking advantage.
