Are you coming to the Big Debate tonight?
For Marlborough to remain competitive and growing it’s important that we have the right decision makers in the wheelhouse for our region. To this end the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce and the Marlborough Express are teaming up to deliver “The Big Debate”. Both of our organisations have been guardians of this community for a long time, the Marlborough Chamber born in 1887, and the Express in 1886.
On Tuesday 24th September from 7pm at the ASB Theatre, we will be bringing people and business together to have a serious conversation with this year’s candidates. If there is one date to mark in your calendar to be an informed voter this year, this is it. All welcome.
