    An apology is on the way from the mayor of Upper Hutt, over his council's handling of residents' complaints they were being kept awake by a noisy factory

    An apology is on the way from the mayor of Upper Hutt, over his council's handling of residents' complaints they were being kept awake by a noisy factory


    Noise testing found a new silo at Farrah's factory breached the Resource Management Act for two years from 2020.

    An independent review has found Upper Hutt City Council should apologise for its poor handling of the noise issues.

    Wayne Guppy says the council accepts its responsibility -- and will be reviewing its processes.
