Tremain Correct
It is pleasing to note that Napiers MP , Chris Tremain has at last grasped the reality of a situation and spoken sensibly about a difficult issue.
The erosion problem at Haumoana has been with us for years and those who live in the firing line of the power of the sea must realise that the sea will win. Their houses will not survive and building sea walls will not save them.The sea loves walls.It eats them.Its a fact.
Pouring ratepayer money into saving these houses would create a huge issue and precedent as there are many spots around the country that replicate the Haumoana situation. One would need a bottomless pit of money to start battling an unwinnable war.
Lets hope Tremain follows up with some more intelligent responses to local problems.
