Congratulations CHB Mail-Woolshed straw-poll

Congratulations CHB Mail for your ' straw-poll on the Aromoana Woolshed!!                                                

I think your poll accurately indicates the lack of local ratepayer support for investing $100,000 of  ratepayers' funds in this project.

There were three for council's involvement and a crushing seven against!!!

Even ex councilor Di Petersen's 'aye' was a dollar each way, because it was conditional on the community believing that council should go ahead and another was conditional on an unknown and unlikely factor, that the scheme would have a positive effect on the local  creation of jobs in the area.

There was only one positive supporter of the sceme who went so far as to say,"Absolutely because history is hard to re-create". I find it difficult to understand just what 'history' he refers to, unless it is the history of mispent rates monies and under-maintained core facilities. Now that history is recreated with monotonous regularity.

What's the bet that council goes quiet on the subject now and simply goes ahead in the face of so much community opposition!!!!!
