Show Notes

Rotorua locals are calling for all of the city's emergency motels to be shut down right away.  

The Government's applied to keep seven motels operating after their resource consents expire in December.  

Independent commissioner David Hill will look at 176 submissions and decide whether to renew them.  

Of the 37 submitters, 36 are against.  

Rotorua District Residents and Ratepayers chair Reynold Macpherson told Mike Hosking that they don’t have any faith in the commission process. 

He said that it’s set up by the council, and always seems to come out with their preferred situation.
