John Lawson of Whaingaroa Environmental Defence Incorporated is reminding Raglanites of this evening’s 5-7pm Waikato District Council Long Term Plan public information session in the Town Hall Supper Room.
John has been reviewing the plan and put what he has spotted so far an editable Google document.
Amongst other things he has pointed out that while WDC is planning to spend $161,000 for restoring the WW2 pillbox on the beach in 2020, it hasn’t included any of the Raglan community priorities captured in the October 2014 Raglan Community Board Community poll. It achieved a 25% response rate (378 survey forms) in a survey which indicated that Raglan’s top five Long Term Plan priorities were –
| forms | priority |
| 237 | Continued development of footpaths in Raglan |
| 185 | A heated swimming pool |
| 158 | Additional areas for parking in the CBD |
| 143 | A new footpath from Whale Bay to Manu Bay |
| 135 | Public transport – increase bus services to & from Hamilton |
All of John’s investigations are included in:

John is asking if another meeting would be helpful.
