The Draft Community Plan is up on the website, see - http://www.huttcity.govt.nz/publications-forms/Community-Plan/Summary-Co..., Submissions by 30th April.

There are two ways we need to support cycling projects in the plan. The first is a CAW submission which I am happy to work on but would like to do it with others. Let me know if you are keen.

The other and maybe more important is to complete the questionaire on the website here http://www.huttcity.govt.nz/Documents/ltccp/2009%20summary/2009%20Draft%... but  I think also sent to all those in the Hutt.

The questionaire asks you to prioritise the 3 below proposed cycling project. Pretty exciting - real money not pocket moneymight get something done. The results of the questionaire pushed cycling off the defferred list a couple of years ago. Really important to get these in and ask others to.

Also support Mckenzie Pool so my kids will have somewhere to cycle to. The projects listed in the summary are:
