It’s only six more sleeps until Christmas, the trees are up, the lights are on, the presents are wrapped - all that’s missing is a break in the weather!
There are a few things on my wish list this Christmas, so instead of writing a letter to Santa (as tempting as that is) I thought I’d write a letter to our district instead.
First on my Christmas list is the development of a Three Waters solution that respects our district’s continual investment in infrastructure, understands our need for local service and maintenance, and protects our people and place.
This is a contentious issue, and one our council has taken a strong stand on from the outset. Over many years, our residents have paid towards fit-for-purpose water infrastructure for our district, and while we will support the development of a viable solution that works for us all, we will continue to protect and uphold the rights of our community.
