Staff report called for on the options for dealing with 1080 issue

Thames-Coromandel District Councillors have pushed back a decision on whether to become involved in an advocacy role over the use of 1080 on the Coromandel Peninsula to allow a staff report to be presented at the December meeting on the implications of such a move.

They agreed to table a notice of motion calling for the Council to research the issue and then seek the views of the five community boards on the topic prior to the policy and planning committee making a recommendation to the full council on the issue.
