It is pleasing to note that WBOPDC councillors have voted to maintain community boards.
Mayor Webber's wish to do away with boards and have councillors choose who will represent the community smacks of elitist favouritism and the idea has again been trounced.
In my view, the role of Mayor is to facilitate, through council processes, the wishes of the 'majority' of the community.
Minority lobby groups that promote any hypothesis based on race can only be perceived as divisive by the community at large.

TIME TO DRAIN THE SWAMP

You have to wonder about the sudden change of mind of "some" of these councillors, are they truly worried about the democratic system and not promoting race- based local politics or just making sure of keeping their jobs", Mayor Webber and his minions must go at the next election, be interesting to see how they answer on the question of where they stand on maori wards this time around.
