Let democracy take its course

I urge all councillors to defer any further action re: Planning Scheme Amendment C 146 – Intensive Animal Husbandry until they face the ratepayers at the next election.
They can then declare their hand regarding this major change to our living conditions and give all the ratepayers a choice whether to change the planning scheme or not, a truly democratic choice and not, as it is now, driven by councillors without a mandate for this change.
This way, any perception of vested interest would be eliminated.
