Our say has to go through the right channels to be heard. Things cant be addressed, changed or fixed if they arent known about, which need to go through the proper channels and processes.
Our comments and posts aren't documented, they don't create change if it isn't through the right channels.
I have had a harsh reminder of this, for over 12 months trying to highlight the issues of stray animals and our animal welfare that needs addressing, this is a historical issue, yet there is minimal data and records on this, its just me screaming out that we have a problem and there is an issue, that is apart of the issue, because it has to go through the correct channels to get to the right people. On paper, there is no issue, its not a priority.
Make it known, what's important to you, what do you agree and disagree with, what should be a priority? What do you want to see Rotorua Lakes Council advocating for us about to regional and govt.
Bay of plenty regional council are also open to feedback on their long term plan.

Personally I'll be advocating for animal welfare to be addressed and prioritied and as we have an overpopulation crisis, I urge you to have a think about this too.
Those affected by the innocent animals who are suffering and being a nuisance through no fault of their own as a by product of many issues our community is facing, let's get solutions.
Emergency housing was highlighted in the media throughout NZ, yet no mention of what that meant for the animals caught in it all, left behind for the neighbours to battle with alone.
The fact improved animal welfare relates to so many relevant issues, our community health and wellbeing, our enviroment, our mental health crisis, our crime rates.
Whatever you feel is important, what are you happy or unhappy with, what concerns and ideas you have, thoughts, opinions, use your voice and make it count.
Maybe nothing will ever change, maybe nothing will make a difference, but what if it does, what if you can, there is only one way to find out. Know you have done what you can, don't wait or rely on someone else to.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
