The Dunedin City Council voted to reduce the number of community boards and the number of members per board and the area covered by them. If approved, most of Fairfield, the Corstorphine to Blackhead block, rural areas above Abbotsford and lifestyle areas of Chain Hills will be without community board representation. The Taieri Times asks the Saddle Hill Community Board chairman whether the board has appealed the decision.

A: Yes, we've appealed it on the grounds that we think people are better represented with community boards, than not. The board [members] have asked for the reinstatement of the status quo.

Q: Are you hopeful the appeal will change the outcome?

A: We are optimistic.
