I am writing to you all with the belief that the housing pods earmarked for Mullumbimby are ill conceived and very unfair to ratepayers like me who have not yet gotten over the trauma of the last flood.
I cannot sleep five months on. I don’t feel safe in my house even though I am one of the ‘lucky’ ones whose house has been repaired, owing to the generosity of my children.
I would not wish a flood on anyone. This is a ridiculously bad idea to hastily erect housing pods on a well-known floodplain.
I hope this message gets through to those making decisions.
With concern for Mullumbimby’s future.
