Yesterday we spoke to Titirangi Residents and Ratepayers Association Chair Dr Mels Barton about her group's opposition to the proposed development of the Oratia water treatment plant. Barton also told bFM that those who suggested the two communities were 'pitted against each other' were completely misrepresenting the situation. She said she welcomed the development to Titirangi, but only so long as the publicly owned Exhibition Drive was kept from being sold.

There's some confusion on that final point, as Watercare deny any such plans exist. 95bFM’s Mack Smith speaks to Watercare operations manager Priyan Perera about these issues.
