Interesting that there is no one on the new Board representing the Public, especially those who live in that area … and no comment as to why the old board all resigned! Hmm…
Also someone on the ‘public participation’ aspect phoned me this week asking if I was still interested, and promised to email the appropriate documents to me, but I still have not received them! Unfortunately I did not record her name and contact details!
