Mayor takes the plunge for cleaner waterways
Whangarei Mayor Sheryl Mai and councillor Tricia Cutforth were the first of around 38 swimmers to "Take The Plunge " in support of cleaning up Whangarei's Hatea River.
Campaigners pushing for cleaning up the Town Basin and other waterways in the district collected more than 170 signatures at the inaugural event held on November 19 at the Canopy Bridge.
Two out of five water tests taken by the Northland Regional Council this year have recorded bacteria levels in the Hatea River considered unsafe for swimming.
Organisers of the event Together Tahi will be presenting a petition to the Whangarei District and Northland Regional Councils which asks the councils to make cleaning up and prevention of pollution in the waterways more of a priority.
Together Tahi plans to hold the event annually until 2025.
