Limited banking services were again raised at Wednesday s Tararua District Council meeting.
At the February meeting of the council mayor Tracey Collis said she was collating information to provide an understanding of the impact on the district s communities of bank closures, reduced trading hours and the phasing out of cheques.
This was to enable concerned residents and businesses to share their challenges in banking to help the council advocate to keep banking services in the district s towns.
Mayor Tracey Collis said the district was not out of the woods yet, with consistent rain not featuring in the extended forecast. “We appreciate the ongoing efforts of residents to conserve water and ask everyone continue to be mindful of their consumption, to avoid the need to reinstate restrictions.”
