Charlotte is a Local Democracy Reporter based in Whakatane.
East Coast MP Kiri Allan says the imminent closure of the Whakatane Board Mill is devastating for the community and she will be arranging a meeting to see what can be done to prevent it.
Earlier this week, more than 200 staff at the mill were presented with a proposal to close the mill, which will see them all made redundant by the end of June.
The mill has been an intergenerational employer in Whakatane for more than 80 years and produces paper and packaging products.
