Department of Conservation & Cape Kidnappers 'ridiculous decision'

Diana from Havelock North

I can't believe that DOC can be so short sighted as to remove the picnic site and shelter as well as the toilet block at the end of the walk along the beach at Cape Kidnappers. Having a facility for shelter and for visitors to enjoy has been enjoyed by many over the years; the facility has … View moreI can't believe that DOC can be so short sighted as to remove the picnic site and shelter as well as the toilet block at the end of the walk along the beach at Cape Kidnappers. Having a facility for shelter and for visitors to enjoy has been enjoyed by many over the years; the facility has been built and paid for by our tax payers money and now without any consultation they are removing it ( by Christmas). I am sure there are many Hawke's Bay people interested in keeping this facility?

Does anyone have any upholstery and/or thicker fabrics, old duvet inners or similar that can be washed and used for padding, also calico or similar fabric, plus buttons of various sizes and colours but the larger the better. Reels of cotton are always useful as well.
All materials will be used to create a variety of covers for Ecobricks modules - a little bit like small ottomans. Please drop in to Heretaunga Women's Centre or contact me for pick up. The materials will be used to create beautiful children´s Eco seats for the Centre’s nursery. This is the conclusion session of the first Ecobrick Community Project in Hawke´s Bay. Contact me or the centre for more information about the workshop.
