Follow-Up on Pohe Island Accessible Playground Proposal
Subject: Follow-Up on Pohe Island Accessible Playground Proposal
Dear Councillors,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to follow up on the email I sent to all councillors on May 8, 2025, regarding my proposal to create New Zealand’s most accessible playground at Pohe Island, Whangārei. The email outlined a well-considered plan, and I sincerely appreciate the five responses I’ve received so far.
However, I am disappointed that nine councillors have yet to acknowledge or respond to my request. Given this lack of engagement, I struggle to see how a five-minute verbal presentation—as suggested in some replies—would be a productive use of time if basic communication remains unanswered.
This project deserves your attention. To ensure transparency and accessibility, I have created a dedicated website, Pohe Island Whangārei, where all the details shared with councillors are now publicly available under the Projects tab. Many of you know me personally and understand my advocacy for a more inclusive world for disabled children. This playground is not just an idea—it’s an achievable milestone for our community.
A simple reply is not just courtesy; it’s a basic sign of respect for the time and effort invested in this initiative. I urge those who have not yet responded to reconsider and engage in this important conversation.
Let’s work together to make Pohe Island a beacon of accessibility and inclusion. I look forward to your responses.
