Survey re SWDC

Chris and Kirstene from South Wairarapa District

Re Featherston

Many people have worked hard for a long time focussing on positives and not engaging with the false narrative that Featherston is a town full of whingers and losers. And the town is coming back up- again- this is cycle we've been through before.
Now the incredibly positive development Marcus and Neil were planning has failed, due to the Council being both overly officious and inflexible on car parking and negligent in their due diligence on the land swap.
When something like this happens, how can we express our rightful anger and disappointment, without being labelled negative again?
I am so sad and angry about the continual failures that have led to Featherston's town centre being so empty and underdeveloped for years. I have lost my faith and feel like the system is broken and stacked against us. Protest is a legitimate democratic technique and I will wholeheartedly participate and lead.

BUT we still have to play by the rules too in order to be heard. To that end, PLEASE take some time today:

Submit to the Long Term Plan here.
www.swdc.govt.nz...
There are specific questions about how your rates will be spent. There is also a box where you can comment on anything you like. Go for it! Closes Monday.

Also please take this anonymous survey, and copy/paste/share this link widely throughout the district. Let's use their own performance measures to rate SWDC, and pass it back to them.

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
