A sensible plan for Wellington
1 News reports:
Amalgamating councils is being pitched so that challenges around the structure of local government in the region can be addressed.
Under the early plans there would be one council for Wairarapa, one for Wellington, the Hutt Valley and Porirua and one for Kāpiti and potentially Horowhenua.
There would still be one regional council.
That seems a good solution to me. The four urban city councils merge into one urban city council. The rural Wairarapa doesn’t merge with Wellington but does merge the three local Councils. And the provincial areas of Kapiti and Horowhenua join together. Otaki and Levin should not be in seperate Councils.
