Did you also send your comments to the NPDC about their new plan with the removal of the Race Stand ?
We are so pleasantly surprised that our story has resonated with so many people.
And very importantly, people have been contacting the NPDC and telling them they do not like the changed plan for the Community Hub, which has not been consulted about, which removes the public race stand.
o Have you got the time to make contact with the NPDC if you haven’t already ?
o Have you been brave enough to tell them you don’t agree ?
o Do you think we should tell the NPDC this project should be stopped ?
A supporter this week told us they have emailed the New Plymouth MP and The Minister for Local Government to ask for the demolition of the Race Stand to be stopped until the NPDC actually consults on the new plan
• Which has completely removed the turf phase of the project, and
• Now has just one building and no Public Race stand, and
• Costs more than the original consultation, which had 2 phases to it, and lots of facilities for the kids
Just a reminder of how you can make contact with the NPDC:
• Email the council at enquiries@npdc.govt.nz
• Post a message on their Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/NewPlymouthDistrictCouncil/
• Email the Mayor, The Councillors, The CEO, and the Executive Leadership Team (Just copy the list below and paste that into the address line of a new e-mail).
If you are new to giving your opinion to the Council, and are not yet brave enough to use your full name, use just your first name in these ways:
• Ring the Council call centre on 759-6060 and tell them you do not support them starting on the Sports Hub project. When they ask for all your details, politely tell them you are only giving your first name, and their job as a council employee is to take your complaint and pass it on to the elected Mayor, Councillors and CEO.
• Write a note, put just your first name on it and hand deliver it in an envelope to reception at the NPDC.
What types of things might you say to the NPDC ?
• I do not support the Tuparikino Active Community Hub project and I want it stopped.
• I do not want the NPDC to borrow $50 million in new debt for a 6 court sports building and carpark.
• I do not want the Public Race Stand removed from the racing club area.
• Why is the NPDC demolishing a well used building and filling up Landfill with waste ? I do not want this project to start.
• The NPDC have misled the New Plymouth public about what will be delivered with this project and I do not support you going ahead with it.
• What was in the 2021 Long Term Plan with a $40 million budget is a lot more extensive than what you are now proposing to build in 2025 for $50 million. What you are now building is not the plan you received submissions for in 2021. You have misrepresented the original plan to the New Plymouth public and I want this project stopped.
