Water meters and economic development hot topics at Stratford consultation meeting

Stratford District Council called out for lagging behind in establishing Māori ward

In the last 12 months, New Plymouth and South Taranaki district councils, and the Taranaki Regional Council, have all voted for Māori representation. One of the country’s smallest districts with a population of just under 10,000, of whom 14 per cent identify as Māori, councillors had the opportunity to green light the establishment of a Māori ward in Stratford in August last year. But they unanimously voted against it, opting to begin the process in 2024, so they had time to consult with their community. Simon O Connor/Stuff Stratford deputy mayor Alan Jamieson said what happened to Judd in New Plymouth had worried councillors when they made their first ward decision last year. (File photo)
