| The local elections are now done and dusted. With both Mayor Wayne Brown and Councillor Greg Sayers retaining their positions, we look forward to continuing the positive and productive relationships we’ve built with them over the years. There have also been some changes on our Local Board, with several sitting members stepping down and new representatives coming in due to boundary adjustments. Congratulations to Tim Holdgate and Ivan Wagstaff, who will represent the Warkworth subdivision, and a warm welcome back to Colin Smith in the North Rodney subdivision, joined by Paul Manton. We’ve always had a strong working relationship with our Local Board and look forward to building on that as we continue improving our town and region. Our AGM is coming up on Wednesday, 29th of October, in the Back Bar of the Bridgehouse Hotel. Doors open at 5.30 pm for a 6 pm start, and I’d like to extend a warm invitation to all members to join us. One Mahurangi has some challenges ahead as we work to strengthen our financial sustainability, and at the AGM, we’ll be discussing some of the planning and ideas our committee has been developing. As the saying goes, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” I hope to see many of you there as we look ahead to the next stage of One Mahurangi’s journey. |
