The complaint from Feilding man Gary Barnett was echoed by other Feilding residents. The concerns involve the rising number of teenagers eating takeaways and creating noise and mess in the library, as well as people smoking outside the entrance. The complaint has led to dis- cussion over whether the town has enough youth spaces - where else can the youth go? Manawatu District mayor Margaret Kouvelis said she liked the concept of a designated youth space, but raised concerns about its sustainability.

    Catchment Operations Committee 10 August 2016 Report No. 16-152 Information Only - No Decision Required RIVER AND DRAINAGE ENGINEERING REPORT (PRD 01 02) 1. PURPOSE 1.1. The purpose of this item is to report on progress with river and drainage activities for the period 1 June 2016 to 31 July 2016. 2. RECOMMENDATION That the Committee recommends that Council: a. receives the information contained in Report No. 16-152 and annexure. 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT 3.1. Funding provision for all activities reported on in this item is either included in the River and Drainage General or River and Drainage Schemes Activity sections of the 2015-25 Long-Term Plan (LTP); is covered by an approved carry-forward of unexpended budget in 2014-15; or additional approval will be specifically sought by way of recommendation in the item. 4. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 4.1. Various matters contained in this item either have been, or will be, communicated with scheme ratepayers through their respective Scheme Liaison Committee and / or Annual Catchment Community Meetings. As necessary, other issues will be the subject of media releases. 5. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS RISK IMPACT 5.1. There are no significant risks inherent in the adoption of recommendations contained in this report. As previously reported there is a risk of the drawdown of an excessive proportion of individual scheme emergency reserve funds for the purpose of flood damage reinstatement relating to the June 2015 event. Realising this risk would require Council’s application for assistance under the National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan (the Plan) to be declined.
