A smoke signaller writes: “I was one of many who were disappointed when we went to check out the new Arorangi jetty at the weekend. After such a colourful and well-publicised official opening, especially your excellent reports and photography, I couldn’t wait to see it for myself and walk out on the jetty. So I drove across the island on Saturday morning and drove to the entrance behind the Aroa Nui Hall. But the gaps between the school buildings were gated, chained and locked, and the kikau screen stuck all over it meant we couldn’t even peel through the gaps. I was one of several people who turned up for a look at the new wharf. It looked very much like members of the public were not welcome to visit and not allowed to wander out on this new facility. It also looked like the beach had been locked off after the night markets, and the only people allowed on the beach were the leftover crew still partying in one of the big tents. Can the Ports Authority and Arorangi Protectors of the Pier please let the working public know when we can gain access to the new wharf, and what hours/days will it be locked off?”
