Do you agree with Council’s proposal to have one Mayor and 12 Councillors (4 Matamata, 4 Morrinsville and 3 Te Aroha and 1 Māori) for the 2022 and 2025 elections?
Comments/suggested alternative Council structure
Since the agreement of a Maori ward, which cannot be changed according to your notes, there is little point in comment about that...but I am continuously unhappy about all these changes affecting the Maori race...when I first came to this country in 1967 we were all just New Zealanders...ideally I would like us all to just be New Zealanders again and stop this awful separation from getting any worse...another Councillor I guess is the best option...please don't change the boundaries, that would be ridiculous backward step.
