Well done Clive Bibby and team

1 min read

Re: Project Wai - Council offers in-principle support of plan to secure water, September 24 story. 

A big congratulations to Clive Bibby and the team to finally get this sensible project this far forward. 

This is what our district needs - practical, visionary thinking ahead. 

All the best to get this project off the ground. 

Council would do well for our community to support this project rather than engaging in woke projects like telling our farmers what to do with their own private farmlands.

The debt level in the pot is warming quickly but Freddie can't see it.
He just feels a bit uncomfortable.
