Council is using the next month or so to get out and about and talk with people in local communities.

The Council Roadshow was launched at the recent Wairoa A and P Show with loads of people making the most of catching up with Council elected members and staff.

Wairoa Mayor Craig Little said the Roadshow is a chance for representatives to explain where Council is at and to hear from the community. “Really, it’s a chance for two-way communication and the information we gather will be used to feed into our Long-Term Plan.

“Often Council has to engage because of legislative requirements. The Roadshow is a chance to simply have a chat, hear what people have to say and really listen to people from our community and also share Council’s position.

“We really encourage people to catch up when we are in your area.”
