Raglan Talking to Raglan - 15-04-2025

It's the time of year when District and Regional councils are asking for our views on their plans, so an interview with each and some details of what's in them, including the errors. In Raglan, for a bus every 4 hours, the rate will be $76.69 per property, the same as those with an hourly bus, such as Cambridge, or Huntly. Another anomaly is that Te Uku and Whatawhata, on the same Raglan bus route, will pay pay half, $38.35. Another oddity is that council staff on their 'facilities team' and their 'climate change group' seem unable to agree on replacing cattle on Wainui Reserve with trees. It had been agreed for last January, but is now awaiting "bought in"!
