Then on Wednesday the regional transport committee deliberated on submissions to the Regional Land Transport Plan – a total of 45 written submissions were made on the 10-year transport plan – and Nelson Tasman Regional Public Transport Plan which had a total of 144 submissions. The committee approved an amended transport plan to go to full council for submission to Waka Kotahi, however the public feedback on the public transport plan called for more significant changes than time allowed, so the committee recommended for the council to consider those changes as part of its Long Term Plan deliberations. On Thursday the community and recreation committee, chaired by Councillor Tim Skinner, met for a 3-hour meeting.
