Mayor of Southland applauds support on the
streets
Mayor of
Southland Frana Cardno has applauded the support of New
Zealanders and people from around the world who paused to
sign a petition today to stop the monorail and tunnel
projects in Fiordland.
Frana Cardno and other members of
Save Fiordland were collecting signatures on Lambton Quay in
Wellington receiving more than 300 signatures in two hours.
"There was an outpouring of support for our fight to stop
these commercial projects that would destroy our world
heritage and national parks and we were all delighted and
humbled by the goodwill on the streets of Wellington," said
Frana Cardno.
