The organiser of a public meeting, involving Whakatane Mayoral candidates, is receiving positive feedback about the meeting.
The six potential civic leaders have addressed more than 400 people.
They've given their visions for the District Council under their leadership.
Meeting convenor Ida Rose is pleased it's been run in an impartial manner.
She says although many people have been thanking her for the meeting, it's not about her, it's about the district and about the people who are looking to govern it.
