Wednesday February 2 2022 Bay Harbour News Lack of council communication with residents a concern • From page 1 “His approach was different to mine. He responded to an invitation from residents, I went out there with council staff and representatives of (contractors) Fulton Hogan. “We were planning that well before Phil went out there. I had a long and detailed meeting with staff (on January 24). We started planning on the day.’’ Asked if he was thought Turner had followed his lead Mauger said: “It does seem a bit coincidental” before denying he was politicking. “I didn’t go out of my way to dig holes in his vote but I thought: ‘This is what excites me about doing council work. You can go out and meet people and see how you can make them happy or fix things. “I’ve been told a number of times to get my head out of operational and start doing governance but I just love the operational bits because I can see how things can maybe be done better.” Mauger updated city council staff on his return and acknowledged the city council’s lack of communication with residents was a concern. “They haven’t been told any plans of what’s going on. If they were kept in the loop a bit more . . . someone from council went over the day after (the storm) and that was good but they haven’t heard a thing since.” Masefield, who must take a quad bike over a narrow stock track on NEWS 7 SLIPPAGE: A Goughs Bay Rd resident surveys the damage to the community’s link to the remainder of Banks Peninsula and beyond. a neighbouring farm to reach the bay, where a vehicle is parked for shopping excursions to Akaroa, has long been critical of the city council’s response. “When this happened everyone went on holiday, the council shut down. The communication has been shocking,” she said. But Masefield was impressed Mauger made the trip hours she after sent her request via social media. “We were very pleased to have a visit from a councillor that genuinely listened to our frustrations and was keen to see the destruction first-hand,” she said, confirming she was criticising the council in general, not Turner specifically. However, after Turner’s first visit since the natural disaster, Masefield was still frustrated. “He says all the right things, as they do, but we still haven’t got any time line of what’s happening to the road,” she said. Mauger, who owns a contracting company, cheekily suggested he was “half an inch away from taking a digger over there and doing it myself but I know I’d get in deep s**t.” In July 2020 he dug a 70m ditch on red zone land to resolve long-term flooding on Pages Rd in the city’s eastern suburbs; the council then spent about $30,000 to fill in the unauthorised trench. Mauger cited that exercise when dismissing suggestions he indulged in a points-scoring exercise ahead of the October 8 polls. “Roadworks, earthworks … all that sort of thing interests me. I’ve also got a place over in Akaroa, a little crib/bach. It’s always interested me over there,” he said, adding he will reschedule an informal gathering in Akaroa cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
