Comments on: A new plan for Marine Parade http://www.fruitbowl.co.nz/lifestyle/a-new-plan-for-marine-parade/ Fresh ideas from Hawke's Bay Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:00:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Paul Dutchhttp://www.fruitbowl.co.nz/lifestyle/a-new-plan-for-marine-parade/comment-page-1/#comment-9784 Paul Dutch Sun, 30 Sep 2012 21:35:34 +0000 http://www.fruitbowl.co.nz/?p=7774#comment-9784 Kudos to the group who put this forward and to them who are making this into a reality. Seems that the Council has done a 180 with regards to the development of the Parade.. I guess it took someone with the social status of Mr Drury to convince them that it would be a good idea. Being generic rate payers, we had to move heaven and earth when we were trying to access to the pathway for our rental Segways about 2 years ago. And I know that a certain bike rental place along the parade has has the same major headaches also trying to convince the Council to bring some spice back to the Parade. Now that the kiddies are taken care of.. What are we going to do for the young folk that leave HB to study, go on their big OE and want to come back to the bay?

If only we could get golden sand, it would be perfect! It’s been such a long time coming, but the suggested attractions would certainly transform the place for the better.

I went on a three week holiday as a child (from the bright lights of Invercargill) and the only thing I can still remember is coming to Napier and enjoying all of the activities on the waterfront. The more money we can bring into the bay in the form of tourism dollars would be a virtuous cricle, and the more activities to keep our local youth engaged the better as well. Just look at how popular the skating rink seems to have been and how much more life it has bought to the waterfront. I think its a marvellous set of ideas Rod.
