Preserve the Eskdale Park in the Esk Valley Napier

Hi Trina, Unfortunately I wont be able to attend the meeting for personal Health reasons, If you have the chance, could you convey (via a copy of this E-Mail) my feelings on major changes to the Park. I am a Hastings rate-payer of 25+ years, have spread mums ashes at the Park, as have other family members. We visit on Family occasions and Christmas due to the serene,idyllic spaces. I wish the Park to remain largely unspoilt by extra traffic or a carpark for mountain-bikers,surely an alternative can be found for them. The only improvment I can see as beneficial, is a deepening of the stream to allow tree dives and a better swimming experience for both Adults and Children. If it is of any benefit to forward this E-Mail to the Council or produce it on Saturday please do on my behalf. Paul King
