Lease proposal? Yeah nah, this is just the first step to selling the whole port off to some overseas company. Watch this space.

100%. They'll promise jobs and then sell it off within 5 years.

As long as they fix the bloody road to Ferrymead, I don't care who owns it tbh.

Peyton Hall2026-06-18T05:09:22.000Z

amen to that. roads are a joke

Would be nice if someone actually invested in the place instead of just extracting profits. Port's been neglected for years.

true, export our dairy and timber overseas while we get rammed on import costs

ffs another lease thing? This is just gonna mean higher prices for everything that comes through the port. Can't catch a break

Mia Carter2026-06-18T05:51:22.000Z

are already a joke mate. This'll just lock in the gouging.

classic council move. take the cash now, leave the mess for the rest of us lol

Aria Wilson2026-06-18T05:52:22.000Z

what even is the point of a port if we're not gonna use it properly. lease it to someone who'll actually ship stuff out
