Formation of a Ratepayers and Residents Association planned.

 
A meeting was held recently in Emerald to form a steering committee for the purpose of evaluating the public response with a view of forming a local Ratepayers and Residents Association.
 
A spokesman for the committee, John Baker said that some twenty local residents had already indicated a willingness to join a new organisation.

In the weeks ahead it is expected that many more, who feel disenfranchised under the current system, will be seeking membership of the new organisation.

 
He said that during the lead up to the last local government election most of the candidates pledged that if elected they would be transparent and accountable.
 
“The new association plans to hold the winning candidates to their word”, said Mr. Baker.
