ENM has submitted to Horizons Regional Council.

ENM endorses points made in the submission of Manawatu River Source to Sea (S2S). In addition ENM has focused on climate change and transport (passanger transport, road safety education and rail), advising to council: 

  • We strongly support the developement of a climate change strategy for this region as a high priority
  • To encourage/enable those who have more options for transport to use alternatives from driving
  • We ask on what basis it was decided to not go ahead with the Highbury/Tararo trail (splitting into two routes) in 2019-20? And if this will commence in the 2020-21 year?
  • We support road safety education in general, however we want to see programmes that educate drivers
  • We also support long term plans to enhance passanger use and freight transport via rail
