Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Fears the Government has only increased uncertainty for councils with delays to amalgamation plans.
The Government won't evaluate council's proposals until next year, despite giving them a tight timeline to put the plans forward.
Local Government New Zealand Regional Chair, Deon Swiggs tells Ryan Bridge pushing back the date is disappointing because a lot of time and money has been put into the plans.
He says there's just one silver lining.
