The council’s proposed location for a new landfill, a Smooth Hill site between Brighton and Dunedin Airport, drew about 120 people to the Brighton Community Hall late last month. At that meeting council acting chief executive Sandy Graham invited those with concerns to bring them to the public forum at the August 5 meeting. One member of the public spoke to the issue during the public forum before yesterday’s meeting.
