Allan Birchfield removed as West Coast Regional Council chairperson
From reporter Joanne Naish
West Coast Regional Council chairperson Allan Birchfield stormed out of a meeting after being removed from his role in a near-unanimous vote by his fellow councillors amid allegations of a “toxic environment”.
Birchfield has been on leave from the council since December, which at the time was explained as being due to health reasons.
All six other councillors signed a letter requesting him to be removed as chairperson at an extraordinary meeting held on Tuesday.
When it came to the actual vote, only Brett Cummings voted for Birchfield to remain.
