For why should be allowed Regional
and Members of this Council to stand as

Members and be candidates elected the district boards while at the
same time, that right is denied of Urban Councillors.
Present arrangements are also unfair in that there is an
the automatic right for Urban Councillors to sit on district
of the

boards. From the perspective the Urban Councillors, they
are being forced to occupy two seats when they are
levelled appointed or elected to one. The critisism level against
the Bill has been mainly based on an objection to the
policy intention

cease when their present term expires in 1989. objection could be one on substance or timing. [Comparing
the workings of the two municipal councils, there is little
doubt that the links in the Regional Council works better
than those in the Urban Council. It is fair to say there
is widespread recentment in the district boards towards the
present link in the form of the ex official membership

enjoyed by the Urban Councillors.
