Councillor Comment

Street Naming:

The Martinborough Ward Councillors, along with Martinborough Community Board and the Maori Standing Committee, are seeking names for proposed or yet to be proposed new streets or roads in our district. It is very important that we have as many names as possible so that anyone proposing a new subdivision or a new road, has a selection of names and their meanings/relevance, to chose from.

It is also important to remember our heritage when submitting your selection. The list will then be provided to Council for their approval.   If you come up with any names, these can be advised by phone or email to a Community Board member, Pip or myself.

Consultation Document:

I am sorry to keep on about this, but by now everyone will have a copy of the Council Long Term Plan Consultation Document – It is important that everyone read this and fill out and return the questionnaire on the last 2 pages.  This will give Council your direction on the following topics and enable Councillors to make informed decisions regarding our future.

Future growth and development

Youth training and development

Promoting and enhancing our district

Infrastructure for visitors

Sports co-ordination

Reducing Waste going to landfills

Water conservation.

It is also a timely reminder that the Public Consultation meeting will be held in Martinborough on the 12^th April at 7pm in the Council chambers.  This is a chance to hear the presentation from our CEO Paul Crimp and talk to the Mayor and Councillors.

If you cannot make 12^th, but would like to talk to either Pip, Jeppy or myself, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Remember submissions close on the 23^rd April at 4pm.
