Seen a problem s please report it s we need to know

Council is encouraging people to be the neyes and earso in their community and report anything they see that may be a problem.

Often the public are the first to notice something that may need urgent attention, but are unsure who they should contact. This means too often a problem goes unreported for some time.

Whether itos a burst water main, a noise control issue, a pothole in their road or a dog that is wandering or appears threatening, these are all issues that can cause concern and need to be reported.

Team Leader Customer Services, Steph Te Huki, says Tararua is a big district and itos impossible to be everywhere at once. pWe want people to contact us when they see a problem, and please donot see contacting us as moaning, we need to know so we can fix it.q
