COROMANDEL TOWN IS WORKING HARD FOR THE FERRY TO RETURN
BY PAULINE STEWART
P
erhaps fever is too strong a word for Kiwis. No one could doubt that people are interested in who they will decide by vote to lead their local government. Over 170 people coming on a Sunday afternoon with no draw card of free food or drink is a clear indication people want change and they want to listen and decide who can deliver it. Truthfully there were six humans, not superhumans standing before the crowd as our mayoral candidates in Whitianga town hall. Last Sunday, 2.00pm to 4.00pm. people were largely from Whitianga and Cooks Beach. It is the first of five such meetings around the Peninsula between now and the end of September ( See page 12). I don’t think anyone made a final decision yesterday. We have time. Continued on page 3
