All eight elected members of the Ashburton District Council have backed a move to ditch the district s derided slogan.
The majority of councillors are supporting a move to formalise a possible change in chambers with a few wanting to open it up to the public if necessary.
Ashburton: Whatever it Takes has occasionally been the subject of ridicule in recent times, appearing on a handful of lists of one of the worst town slogans in the country. And it seems the district s community leaders unanimously agree that the district s catchphrase, for more than a decade, could do with some rejuvenation.
