It is likely the saga that began with the discovery of asbestos in crushed concrete at the Broadlands Road landfill in July last year will enter its final chapter next month.

The Taupō District Council has now closed cartage tenders to truck the concrete out of the district with their evaluation expected to take a couple of weeks before transporting begins in June.
