IT BEGGARS belief only<br />
six councillors voted on<br />
one of the most important<br />
decisions they will make in<br />
the foreseeable future – and<br />
some weren’t even aware of<br />
the consequences of their<br />
decision (page 1).<br />

didn’t know their decision<br />
would stop the appeal by<br />
residents’ group Lincoln<br />

Voice - yet the same issue<br />
was raised at a council<br />
meeting late last year. That is<br />
staggering.<br />
And why didn’t the council<br />
delay making a decision on<br />
its District Plan, like the<br />
Christchurch City Council<br />
has?<br />
