I am writing to applaud the efforts of Mr Steve Morris of the Papamoa Progressive Association to find a cheaper more effective Tsunami warning system for Mount and Papamoa residents.
During the trial Mr Morris ran a couple of weeks ago both my husband and I heard it loud and clear. I was listening to the radio at the time.
All the other tests run by the council have been useless, and I haven't heard them at all even when standing outside on my balcony and listening for them.
I am not a member of the Papamoa Progressive Association.
Anyone who finds a cheaper (much less than the predicted council costs of $800k) more effective system is to be congratulated.

Susan N Jones, Papamoa.
