Covid-19: Marlborough Mayor on Picton protesters staying put

From Morning Report, 7:36 am on 17 February 2022

Protesters occupying a park refused to move on Wednesday as requested by Marlborough District Council.

The group, who are protesting against Covid-19 vaccine mandates, have been staying at Nelson Square Reserve for just over a week.

The council says the protesters' representatives had agreed to relocate to a domain where they could be during the day but that hasn't happened.

Marlborough Mayor John Leggett spoke to Corin Dann.
