Letters to the Editor: Fiordland Advocate
27th September 2012
It seems the District Council says it is time to review the way our communities in the Basin are represented and the Idea of a Merging of the Manapouri CDA and the Te Anau Community Board is being mooted. On the surface I would say if we could all pull together as one it would be a Positive thing also these two communities are so close to each other they effect each other as one community anyway.
But I think the main worry at the moment is the polarisation and hostility that can occur in a smaller community where some individuals can act as if community representation means personal power over others and community assets, something that tends to be less acceptable in larger combined community Boards.
Anyway, if you want to have a say on the Mararoa-Waimea Ward Merger you can apparently tell Tamara through repreview@southlanddc.govt.nz
