Mr Mayor, like many others, I was deeply disappointed to hear that the RMA has declined consent to proceed with your proposed memorial in Adams Ave at the Mount. I was so much looking forward to see the neon lights flashing over the Mt Hot Pools, with Mauao in the background, lighting up a three metre high sign reading ' The Stuart Crosby Memorial Mt Maunganui Hot Salt Pools and Wellness Centre”. Also the two full time staff and the consultants that have been working exclusively on your behalf for the last couple years must be gutted, as well as now being surplus to requirements; they now have been deprived of the opportunity of squandering the rest of the $7.5 million.
