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.

Hello fellow ratepayers,

My awesome grandchildren have been learning how to swim with Comet who have done an amazing job. I have just learnt that Gisborne District Council has not renewed the contract for Learn to Swim but has given the contract to an Australian group.

I’m saddened as this group of amazing people do an amazing job with our tamariki.

What happened to support local?

A very sad nana
