The Whakatāne District Grey Power Association has started a petition on the Parliament website for the Government to prioritise funding for a second bridge in Whakatāne.
The Whakatāne Grey Power petition, titled Additional Bridge for Whakatāne, supports a proposal by Mayor Victor Luca advocating for a second bridge.
Grey Power committee member Vern Scheffer said the process of creating the petition on the Parliament website had been time-consuming.
“However, you have to do it that way for it to be considered by the select committee.”
