Marlborough Express 3/1/17
STREET SIGNS I read in today’s paper that the ‘council’ is going to consider English/Maori street signs for Marlborough. Unbelievable!
For Pete’s sake, surely we can trust our elected representatives to spend our hard-earned rates money on more constructive and beneficial projects than the result of Cynthia Brooks having a sleepless night. Something simple like earthquake recovery and potable water for our important provincial towns would be good.
And to rub salt into the wound the council proposals will be submitted to the local iwi for consideration and response, before any action.
Hang on a minute mate! What happened to the people who will be paying for this fanciful notion, and just happen to be in the vast majority, the ratepayers!
Are we not included in this decision? Where is democracy? A referendum would be the only way to make the decision a fair one. I wonder if our new, dedicated to Marlborough Mayor Leggett will see the light? D W Picton
