I began a conversation with my Mayor and Council in February 2017.
I exercised my democratic right to ask for information and to lobby Councillors.
I began posting to neighbourly documenting the treatment that I received at their hands, to much to go over again here. I stopped when the Library closed
I picked up the saga again when the Library reopened and as a result of my journey and the way I have been treated by my elected representatives, I have learned how our democracy is being eroded by people who don't want to be accountable to their ratepayers.

As we’re going into colder weather it becomes more important to keep safety a top priority. Did you know that in water, the body loses heat 20 to 30 times faster than it does in air! 😲 We encourage boaties to remember these five simple precautions:

• Take two waterproof ways to call for help
• Check the marine weather forecast
• Avoid alcohol
• Be a responsible skipper
And remember, if in doubt, don’t go out 🐟
