Is September, the LGWM board commissioned external consultants to conduct a review of the programme amid growing concerns about delays. The findings were made public on Friday and made for damning reading. It found that the programme was “at risk of failing to deliver”, and needed to be paused so major problems could be addressed. Problems, may that have persisted since LGWM’s inception five years ago, included under-resourcing, staff shortages, lack of expertise, and a lack of “strategic leadership”.

A
safer city and fairer fees for responsible dog owners are
the goals of proposed changes to Porirua City’s dog
control bylaw.
In recent years, the Council has seen
an increase in serious dog attacks causing injury to people,
says Porirua Mayor Anita Baker. To address this, and to make
things fairer for all, changes are being proposed to the
city’s dog control bylaw to:
change the dog
owner categories from responsible dog owner to selected
owner category
revise dog registration
fees
introduce mandatory neutering for dogs
