This campaign is receiving huge support from the wider community, with offers to help and advice. District councillors are encouraging but I'm still waiting to hear from DOC's Northland director. I think the next step is to take the issue to a national level as many signatories are concerned about loss of our coastal lifestyle around the country.

Peter de Graaf at the Northern Advocate/New Zealand Herald, Karyn Hay at RNZ and Larry Williams at Newstalk's Drive have taken  an interest. Thank you!
