Month in review

This has been both a frustrating and a hectic month for me. I took longer to get back on my feet than planned, following my surgery, and was kept very busy reading the submissions on the LTCCP. This year 1740 submissions and priority surveys have been received for the 2006/07 - 2015/16 Draft 10 Year Plan. Issues such as the Recreation Lake, the upgrade of the Esplanade and surrounding parks, Centrepoint Theatre, the standard of the city’s water supply and the rate increase stood out in submissions received. Hearings take place in the week 8th - 12th May and then council gets into the final phases of setting the plan. I expect there are some very long nights coming up!
