Poll: Will you look at the league tables when they're out?
City leaders are bracing for potential public backlash as the Department of Internal Affairs prepares to release a new set of nationwide council performance data later this month.
The data - due on July 28 - will compare councils of similar size and type across New Zealand, with Hamilton going head-to-head against Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga, Dunedin, Hutt and Whangārei city councils.
