It was a pleasure to host the Hon Kris Faafoi on Wednesday during his visit to assess the damage caused by the recent storm. It was sobering to see the damage to Queen Charlotte Drive - there are some huge slips and the road is badly damaged in a number of places. Although we’ve now moved to the recovery stage we haven’t taken our foot off the pedal. Our teams are clearing slips, repairing roads and bridges and reconnecting isolated communities. That is our priority but it will take time. You can read more about the Minister’s visit and the move to recovery below. Have a good weekend. John Leggett
Mayor of Marlborough |
