Single council ‘super’ in size only
I LOVED Tony Hersey’s cartoon regarding a Riverland super council (Murray Pioneer, 12/10/18).
Why a digital clock?
AS a relatively new resident in the Renmark and Paringa Council area I see both Renmark and Paringa through new eyes and with great enthusiasm.
Cancer poll skewed?
REGARDING the article in a recent Advertiser regarding the percentage of cancer in Renmark, it was distressing to see that the town came in with the highest diagnosis rate overall.
Local business and open government
I HAVE to declare my interest here – I work for Yates Electrical Services in Paringa.
‘Blitz’ police were just doing their job
I REFER to Sara Gilligan’s article and cartoon by Tony Hersey published in the Murray Pioneer on September 28 regarding the increased police presence in the Riverland recently (‘What blitz?’).
No excesses at Renmark Paringa
WHILE I agree with much of what Trevor Chapple contends with regards to getting younger people involved in local government and providing more choice for electors (‘Less money, but candidates flowing’, Murray Pioneer, 14/4/18) I think it wise to clarify that Renmark Paringa councillors do not have additional fees paid for chairing committees, that no mobile phones are supplied to them and they do not have access to credit cards (there are only four cards in the entire council).
Howzat memory?
THE other day a small group of us were treated to look at the Woolenook Wetland Reserve.
Less money, but candidates flowing?
IT’S pleasing that the Renmark Paringa Council’s push to attract candidates with a fresh approach appears successful.
