Poll: Should Southland and Gore District Councils merge?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Former Southland Federated Farmers president Allan Baird has called on the Southland District Council to consider a merger with Gore District Council.

While the division of the district into five wards was a reasonable approach in the short-term, Baird said it was an "anomaly" that not all of the Southland Province was represented.

Having 12 councillors responsible for the whole of the Southland province would be more appropriate, Baird said.
