Commendations to Byron Shire Council, the mayor and councillors for their willingness to liaise with relevant State bodies and the community to provide a suitable location for temporary pods to house flood-affected Shire residents.
As cited by the mayor in The Echo (17 August) ‘Hundreds of displaced Byron Shire households are relying on us to provide temporary accommodation while the huge job of rebuilding continues.’
As these households have endured six highly stressful months, the urgency to locate the temporary pods suitably is imperative before another six months elapses.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
