Also some idea of the newly released report on the bus consultation, which gives Raglan no more buses, despite a 60.4% (102) yes, but Morrinsville will get more with only 23.1% (31) saying yes to more buses! It seems Regional Council can’t count whether 3 or 4 people want a bus out west, but it’s less than the 7 who wanted buses to Greenslade Rd. The excuse for buses to Whale bay, but not Greenslade was that there’s more room to turn a bus, but look at these aerial photos! In 2032 it’s possible Raglan could have 3 × 500 kWh double deckers and a depot to charge them, but probably mainly used just for peak hour services. Other news is that Rangitahi may yet get a swimming pool and yet another water accident, this time not fatal.
Elections close on Sat 11 Oct, so more interviews on Raglan talking to Raglan
