Interesting to hear the parting words of incumbent councilors not putting themselves up for reelection. A Timaru out going councilor warned of degradation of our CBD and the danger of allowing big box development, happening on the town perimeter, to include smaller retail outlets.
Plus other observations of council and his input.
All positive comments so far.

His final parting words
“Climate change is a load of crap.”

I'm glad he's pulled his pin.
