As glad as we all were to see 2020 finally end, the first couple of weeks of 2021 have not been much better. Kayla Hodge sits down with Mayor
Gary Kircher to find out what is in store for the Waitaki district this year.
It was a start to the new year nobody saw coming.
Rain caused havoc as the district flooded, roads washed away and campgrounds were evacuated. Contractors and the NZ Transport Agency have since repaired the roads, including Parsons Creek Bridge near Otematata, and Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher praised their ability to work quickly with limited staff.
