Don Driver Mural Update
I am trying to keep this up front on Neighbourly and the only way seems to be to create a new Post.
A good response so far, but now we need to put words into action.
I have created a petition on Facebook demanding that Council instruct the CCO which runs OUR airport to place the Don Driver mural in a prominent position. I am tired of the lies that they cannot incorporate such an iconic piece of art and history in a facility three times larger than the current airport, so that visitors can see it.
Petition wording is as follows
"We the undersigned demand that the New Plymouth District Council use its position to demand that their Council Controlled Organisation running the new airport display the Don Driver mural in a prominent position in the new airport terminal in order to recognise the significance of the Kingsford-Smith flight in the history of our City".
I realise not everyone is on Facebook so I need help to distribute the petition to Dairies I need people to take it to their place of work, their social groups, and whoever you think might feel aggrieved about this decision.
I also intend canvassing at the airport too, in order to ask passengers to sign.
If you can help, please let me know and how I can get in touch with you.
Onwards and upwards people; it really is us who can make a difference
