Become part of our feedback community

The council is taking part in an innovative trial in community consultation through the Texsys cellphone database system. This is a real-time, any-time method for the public to have its say on a host of key issues and, best of all, it's free!

How does it work?

• When you free text the word "Wanganui" to 5002 your details will be added to our community feedback database.
• You will receive a confirmation text welcoming you to the council's feedback community.
• When council wants feedback on a particular issue it will send a text to all registered users seeking their input – you can pick and choose the topics you respond to based on your interests and your reply texts will always be free.
• Every response received will be entered into a regular prize draw.

This is an excellent way to ensure that all sectors of the community are represented in the decision-making process in a way that makes best use of modern technology.

This is a six-month trial and is being offered by former Wanganui man and Director of Texsys Adam Hutchinson.

So if you want to join our feedback community, text "Wanganui" to 5002 now.
