Ratepayers and residents of the Thames Coromandel could soon become victims of consultation overload after their council decided to push two more proposals out for public perusal.
The meeting got off to a slow but intense start when a recent Thames Community Board decision about a new swimming pool complex was discussed, with councillors Rekha Giri-Percival and John Grant questioning why future funding options were not addressed by the board before being put to council.

The community champion had a lifelong battle with diabetes and died last week, aged 50.

The sewerage situation prompted a city council clamp-down in 2023, effectively shutting down development in large parts of the city to avoid putting the system under extra pressure.

Do you think the council made the right call on restricting new developments? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
