Since the Library idea things have moved on. While some people saw the vision of a Booktown having a library in the middle.
The Council held a workshop for Councillors and the Featherston Community Board. At that workshop some ideas were recorded and it was decided that the Featherston Community Board, the Featherston Ward Councillors and the Mayor would form a project team and find out from the Community what they wanted.
What came out of multiple workshops, a public meeting and public feedback was that the Community wanted retails shops. And so the 57 Fitzherbert Street Committee was formed from Featherston Ward Councillors and the Featherston Community Board Chair. Terms of reference have been agreed to.
SWDC staff are clearing the easements and completing the legal requirements to get the land ready for sale.
We are waiting.
I am hopeful.
