Olive Branch Hangs Across Local Leaders

By John Freer

An olive branch with the aim of bringing together the Coromandel Alliance Association and Thames Coromandel District Councillors to establish a constructive relationship.

It came during an interview between Mayor, Len Salt, and Alliance chairman, Richard Shelford-Woodcock. The alliance represents a collective of residents and ratepayer associations it claimed that council was not effectively engaging.

This was disputed by the mayor who said his door was always open and he was prepared for discussions – his proviso being that they were credible and working for the wider community.
