Packed House at the drop-in to check out the flood defence options
To everyone (around 50 of you) who came along last last night - wow, great turn-out and we got heaps of great feedback and learned a lot about what everyone thinks. If you didn't get to spend enough time poring over the maps and numbers or you'd like to get more info from some of the expert members of the team, then remember we're doing it again tomorrow (Saturday) - between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.. We'll do it downstairs in the side room of Greytown Library - that'll give us more space to spread out the maps and see them from all sides. See you there.
By the way- quite a few people asked how we'd narrow down the options and make a decision. We're already starting to get a real feel from the drop in last night of what people seem to prefer. So we'll keep on keeping everyone in the loop all the way through - you're doing a heck of a good job of making the decisions by guiding us through your feedback!
Also don't forget the easy peasy plant a tree meet of the Friends of the Waiohine on Sunday. With them we're making a small but important start on making the river our little slice of paradise.
