Huntly residents are perplexed and unhappy the Waikato regional council is opposing a zoning change which would enable a large Sleepyhead factory and 1100 homes to be built in nearby Ōhinewai.

Huntly community board member, Red Wootton, talks to Jesse about how much an impact the development would have and why he doesn't understand the regional council's opposition.
