	Submission by Ian Ritchie on the Manawatu District Council Draft Annual Plan (DAP)
		If the Manawatu District is to be a 'healthy community' or consist of a series of healthy communities, Council must become pro-active and it must encourage the people in the District to become pro-active.
		Real investment in our district needs to take a much longer time-frame with lower immediate profit margins, but much more long term benefits to the community, the infrastructure (in the broadest sense), jobs that will stay here, projects that will lead to improvements in the health and well-being of the residents.
		Another very strong message was that the level of income throughout the district cannot support a rate increase.
