Today we had a full day of people speaking about their submissions to our draft long term plan. It was fantastic to hear the diverse range of topics from our passionate community before the council deliberates tomorrow. Special thanks to our youngest submitter Molly from St Mary’s School Carterton - she’s 10 years old! 👏
Molly was amazing - expect to see her around the CDC table in future! Thanks also to all the submitters - a healthy mix of challenging, considered, and constructive input into the deliberation process for Carterton districts 10 year plan.
