We remember
Reading the Mahurangi Matters article about Council corruption (localmatters.co.nz) made me shiver.It said: “Mrs Webster also made it clear that she was not personally responsible for the $42,000 paid to former Rodney chief executive Rodger Kerr-Newell for untaken professional development.” She said, “That was a decision of the whole council, not just me, and it was taken on the best advice at the time.” However, the independent enquiry by the Auditor-General clearly states, “The Mayor (Penny Webster) did not seek approval from Council for these payments.” We still remember. It wasn’t that long ago.

Passion at Pasifika
Can I say thank you to all who supported our annual Pasifika Festival. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the performers who sang and danced with skill, enthusiasm and passion. Our key sponsors included Mahurangi College, Creative Communities, New World, Lions Club, Southern Paprika, Gala Berry and the Mahurangi Presbyterian Church. A highlight was the opening of the festival by the Year 3 and 4 Kapa Haka group from Warkworth Primary.
