Chamber in Tune

The Hawkes Bay Chamber of Commerce is at last working working for Hawkes Bay and showing some understanding of major issues affecting the region.
It is of major importance that the Chamber has come out in opposition to the proposed sports park and they appear to have done there figures on it.
The Chambers’ Chief Executive ,Murray Douglas  said “any expenditure by council of $50 million is likely to have economic affects ”
He is spot on.The Hastings community just can,t afford it and there are better ways to deal with sporting codes  around Hastings.
The Chamber has noted a  $1.5 million loss of production from the land in question and further financial implications of road development etc that would ruin the whole block in the future.

Lets hope we see some more inspiration from the Chamber in the future.
