Everything from street lights to potholes have been mentioned so far at the Cromwell Community Board's regular drop-in sessions.
''I wouldn't say we've been rushed off our feet, but I think it's a good thing to have,'' board chairman and deputy Central Otago Mayor Neil Gillespie told the board yesterday.
The drop-in meetings have been held fortnightly and the first one, last month, attracted five or six residents, who mostly wanted to discuss ''operational issues'' such as street lights and potholes, he said.
The idea behind the drop-in sessions was to provide a venue for members of the community to pop in and chat to board members about their concerns and ideas and provide feedback.
Deputy board chairwoman Helen Hucklebridge said when she staffed the session, she was surprised not to ''have a single complaint about fortnightly rubbish collection''.
The council changed from weekly to fortnightly rubbish collection at the start of last month.
