    Napier City Council plans to consult on establishing Maori wards

    Napier City Council plans to consult on establishing Maori wards


    They allow those on the Maori Electoral Roll to vote for Councillors to represent Maori.

    But its proposed consultation will miss a Government's deadline of Friday next week.

    Mayor Kirsten Wise says the two and a half month timeframe set by Government isn't long enough.
