Many of us were woken early this morning by the earthquake off the North Island’s East Coast. I would like to thank our Emergency Management Team, led by Brian Paton, and Harbourmaster Luke Grogan who worked through the wee hours readying our region’s response to the tsunami threat today. Thankfully that threat has now passed, but it’s good to know Marlborough has very capable and responsive emergency management staff. Enjoy your weekend and all Marlborough has to offer, John Leggett, Mayor of Marlborough |
