Russell's wharf gets help



Over Summer we visited Russell (I had never been there before) and witnessed what a busy hive of activity it is. I read last week that apparently the wharf is in an urgent state of repair and submissions are being made as to what people think should be done to it.



After the closing date for the submissions on May 16th the mayor and councillors will go over what they've received and a new plan will be formed by June 21st. One of the ideas is to add a cafe or a restaurant and a boat terminal, this region is extremely popular with tourists so I think those additions will be a good idea.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

It does look in serious need of refurbishment.

A cafe/restaurant sounds good. Some of the funds could be set aside to maintain the upkeep of the pier. Hopefully it will get the help it needs. It is a gorgeous area from the look of your photos.
Enjoy the day!

So scenic. To have a user-friendly wharf would be a boon to the area.

Looks great, adding a cafe will make this area more popular.
