Have your say on district’s long-term plan
“Take the time and participate in the LTP consultation process to have your say. Now, more than ever, we need your voice to support council as we navigate challenging times and make tough decisions,” Mayor Bernie Wanden says.
Visit letskorero.horowhenua.govt. nz/LTP2024-44 for more information or pop into Te Takeretanga o Kurahau-po¯, Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom or Shannon Library to view a hardcopy of the consultation document. They have only one copy, so you may need to bring lunch and line up for your turn to read it.
How to have your say
It’s easy to ask questions, share your thoughts with council and make a submission to the Long-Term Plan. Submissions close April 15. Council will receive formal submissions and other feedback, including comments from social media, ahead of any decision making.
