Eskdale Park Drop in Session
Hello everyone .. Just a reminder here. HDC officers will be available tomorrow to answer any questions you have regarding the draft reserve management plan for Eskdale Park. The Council is holding a Reserve Management Plan drop-in day this weekend, on Sunday, July 31, at Hukarere Girls’ College from 2pm to 4pm.
This drop-in day has no formal presentation, so you can call in anytime you want to talk to officers about the plan or to ask questions.
If you can not make it to the session tomorrow feel free to email Friends of Eskdale Park at saveeskdalepark@gmail.com or message on FB at www.facebook.com... and we will ask your questions on your behalf and then message you the answers.

Feel free to reach out to us if you need help to view the draft plan or for any other questions about Friends of Eskdale Park. Thank you

26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
