Head Start programme - public information session

Whanganui District Council is running a public information session at the War Memorial Centre on Tuesday 9 June to start exploring what the government’s Head Start programme could mean for Whanganui.

 

As well as a panel of speakers, we’ll have live audience voting via phones. This means you’ll be able to respond to key questions as we go and see what others in the room think in real time.

Head Start is part of the government’s plan to simplify local government. Councils have been given three months to come up with proposals to merge with others. We’re not at the stage of developing options yet – we’ll ask for your thoughts on those later. For now, we know there’s lots of interest and questions and we’re keen to kick off the conversation with the wider community.
