A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Comet and Enterprise swim clubs are local businesses most families in Gisborne have supported over many decades. We are told constantly to “ buy local”, so what was GDC thinking when they gave the pool contract to an out-of-country company?

We need to keep this community close during these difficult times.

No one I have talked to agrees with this decision. So was it all about 30 pieces of silver?
