Raetihi residents have the power to get the WiFi back on, says the region's mayor.
Ruapehu District Council and the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board have invited Raetihi residents to a community meeting to discuss the issues around returning free 24/7 WiFi and the installation of security cameras.
The meeting is tomorrow starting at 5.30pm at the Raetihi Primary School Hall.
The free WiFi at council's Raetihi office and library was switched off after hours on April 20 at the request of the police in attempt to curb a spate of vandalism and other anti-social behaviour that was occurring around the town at night.
The area around the council office and library had become a gathering point for young people after dark because of the free WiFi.
