Aucklanders reject Three Waters

Stuff reports:

More than 3450 submissions were received by the council, of which 77 per cent supported the council’s position that any new entity should be kept accountable to the public through elected council representatives.

More than 2000 people were also independently polled, with 67 per cent of respondents also supporting the council’s position.

So two thirds of Aucklanders oppose the Government’s plans to remove water assets from the control of Councils and place them with regional entities that will be almost immune to public accountability.
