> Hey guys, we have witnessed over the last year the erosion of the banks of the dune beachfront area of Purau Bay. We spoke to your contractors who were weed spraying last time as they were spraying all the lucern which has deep deep roots and was holding the beach front together, now that has been killed we are fast losing a beautiful beach front area to the sea. I’m not sure how these things work but I would suggest a sea wall or retaining type wall to take the place of the natural one that your contractors had a hand in wrecking. If something is not done urgently the nice chair we sit on and watch the sunset with our children will cave and be taken by the sea also.
