Day of Democracy: Consultation conundrum for Thames Coromandel

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

In an ongoing series, the Waikato Times visits a council meeting and casts an irreverent eye over small town democracy in action - today it’s Thames Coromandel District.

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.
