Auckland Council committees structure worries councillor

From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 18 November 2022

An Auckland councillor is worried that changes announced by Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown could reduce scrutiny of city affairs. Wayne Brown stamped his authority on Auckland Council yesterday, axing some committees, and limiting the numbers on others. There are three fewer committees now, and less people on them. North Shore councillor Chris Darby says the restructure has created a mega committee that will be hard to manage, and to monitor. He spoke to Corin Dann.
