The Chairperson provided an update on matters of interest including: · Road Maintenance – lack of gravel on certain roads which were now in poor condition. · March Creek – ORC to clean banks and improve capacity. The culvert under the highway is too small to handle the water volume. · Pruning of trees – noted a lack of pruning of trees around the township. · Rubbish bins – a contractor from Dunedin travels to empty four to five bins on a regular basis. Maybe more efficient way to do this. · Dog registration – facilities for paying dog registration would be available at the Post Office on Friday 29 July. Appreciation expressed for the initiative, and would like to ensure the service is made available at other times such as for paying rates.
