Next steps for Annual Plan

Getting community input is imperative when putting together the plan for a district for the coming year, and this year Hastings has had a good response.

More than 600 people took the time to send in a tear-off slip with their response to the question on paying for parking in the city centre: Should it be paid for by putting coins in the meter, or by a charge on rates?

To ensure that as broad a range of opinions was canvassed as possible, Council also put the parking question to its Citizens’ Panel and received 300 responses.

Of the 140 formal submissions, about half were on the parking issue.

About 40 of those formal submissions were requests for things like improvements to facilities such as parks, halls and sports grounds, or support for local events.

Council staff are now collating the responses into a report that will outline the public preferences.

Hastings District councillors will get that report and hear those submitters who want to speak to council on June 9 and 10, before making any changes and formally adopting the plan on June 30.
