Have Your Say On Our Auckland
A regionwide coalition called Our Auckland is urging Aucklanders to have a say on the Government's "Super City" proposals.
Formed by a broad range of community groups and individuals from across the Auckland Region, the group plans to launch its campaign on Thursday 29 April.
Our Auckland spokesperson Mels Barton said "Despite the Government promising to consult Aucklanders' about their plans for the reorganisation of councils in the Region, they have never done so. We think it's about time someone asked ordinary people for their views, since they are the ones paying for these changes. The Government hasn't done it, so we will, because after all it's our city, our assets and our rates and Aucklanders deserve to have a say."
