A 'Walk and Talk' session with Central Hawke’s Bay District councillors and members of the council team will be held in Waipawa today.
The session is to gain feedback on the main street of Waipawa – how it could be improved, safety, and how or why people use the stretch of road.
The Council is currently undertaking a survey on Waipawa’s main street, putting together a proposal to get full funding to be a part of the national Streets for People programme, established by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
A survey is currently available on the Council website, with submissions close the 1st of July.
Today’s ‘Walk and Talk’ begins at the carpark next to the CHB Museum at midday, with another planned for tomorrow from 4pm.
