A number of Isaac Road residents will attend the Council Meeting from 1230pm at the Council Chambers, 215 High Street, Rangiora. Isaac Community Association Inc. (ICA) spokesman Ian Anderson will be in attendance and available for interview.

The ICA is also interested in the item 8.8 on the agenda which they say is important when it comes to helping to ensure the district plan is fit for purpose, as it currently clearly is not.
