A public meeting will be held next Wednesday, June 9 to get the ball rolling on forming a new Warkworth Heritage and Culture Group.
Organiser Dave Parker says the meeting is open to anyone interested in local history, heritage and culture in Warkworth and the surrounding areas, with a view to forming a working committee and list of supporters.
“There are concerns that we as a community are losing a grip on varying aspects pertaining to our valued historic assets and history,” Mr Parker said during a deputation to May’s Rodney Local Board meeting.
“It’s not only about our buildings of historic and architectural significance, but also about the educational values of our town’s history and the community’s association with established groups.”
He said one of the new group’s first aims would be to give the support needed to protect and preserve Warkworth’s historic weir.
The public meeting will be held at The Bridgehouse Bar at 5.30pm.
