Poll: Do you think amalgamating councils would be good for Waikato?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

There’s a saying that goes something like this - the more things change, the more they stay the same - and when it comes to amalgamating the region’s district councils, nothing could be truer.

Talk of amalgamating the Waikato region’s multiple local bodies goes as far back as 1989, when around 850 around the country were amalgamated into 86 local authorities.
