Unfortunately the link to the survey isn't clickable in the online edition :-( and those of us who read the printed paper will have a hard time with that, too. So here's the link to the survey, just one click away. Yes, it lives on the Far North District Council's website, but it is a collaboration of all three district councils and the regional council as well as Northland Inc.
