Over 100 loc­al people atten­ded a Timaru pub­lic meet­ing on the future of the port of Timaru on Thursday 17 Septem­ber.

The meet­ing was called by the Mari­time Uni­on of New Zea­l­and fol­low­ing a decision last month by Fonterra to stop exports from the port of Timaru, which has res­ul­ted in a massive loss of work for the port.

Mari­time Uni­on Gen­er­al Sec­ret­ary Tre­vor Han­son says the meet­ing was a suc­cess.
