Whanganui resident Ruth Tidemann has asked Horizons Regional Council to stop giving Whanganui District Council consent to "groom" Castlecliff Beach every summer.
Tidemann is a member of Castlecliff Coast Care and a Te Pūwaha consultation
group for the Whanganui port development, and instigated Castlecliff Kōrero in 2018. She presented her submission on Horizons' long-term plan to regional councillors in the Whanganui War Memorial Centre on Tuesday.

Whanganui business Jurgens Demolition has the contract to demolish the cement silos and attached buildings at Whanganui Port, starting in the next fortnight.
The silos were owned by Q-West Boat Builders, director Myles Fothergill said.
The company will pay for the demolition, as part of its $11 million investment in the marine precinct part of the port renewal project.

An annual spend of $50,000 to shift sand around on Castlecliff Beach is "dumb" and people who want it changed should tell the Whanganui District Council, councillor James Barron says.
The long-time problem of windblown
sand at Castlecliff Beach became a focus for the Coastal Restoration Trust conference's free workshop Working with Nature on Tuesday, March 9.
Before leading the 70 participants out into the dunes, Castlecliff Coast Care co-ordinator Graham Pearson said the council spent about $40,000 a year on shifting sand and driftwood off the swimming area by the Surf Club, only for westerly winds and longshore drift to bring it back.

Thumbs up for Kev
I would like to say how much I enjoy reading Kevin Page's article in the Saturday Chronicle each week.
His is the first page I turn to as he invariably makes
me laugh every Saturday morning.
To read that he has at last been able to secure a job was great and I would like to congratulate him on his perseverance and wish him well for the future.
