Community calls for input on board decision
Radio Nelson, October 31 2005
Tasman
District Council's proposal
to axe the Motueka Community
Board is proving to be unpopular.
Motueka community group,
Community Action for People
and Planet, say the Tasman
District Council needs to
offer the public more information
before recommending sweeping
changes to local body representation.
Spokesperson, Duncan Eddy, says Motueka Ward residents won't be able to make an informed decision as to whether they prefer a Community Board or a Community Association, until there is a clear understanding of the pros and cons of each system.
Duncan Eddy is calling for the Tasman District Council to provide the public with greater information on the options.
