Nelson Councillor wants a cyclist tax

Nelson Councillor & Police Officer Eric Davy said he would be happy to see a cycle allowance (for remuneration) introduced alongside the introduction of a cyclist tax.

 

If Nelson city councillors were paid by the minute, they wouldn't have done too badly out of their discussion on their pay.

It generated the biggest response out of any items on the agenda at their meeting last week.

A staff recommendation that councillors adopt an annual salary payment system drew comments on whether it was the fairest pay method.
