Councillor Nobby Clark confirmed there were factions within the council yesterday. In documents released to the Otago Daily Times, Ms Hadley confirmed discussions with the DIA regarding the council began in January. Cr Clark said he no longer had concerns about her contact with the DIA, but did wonder why council was not informed earlier about these discussions. When contacted by the Otago Daily Times, Ms Hadley said it would not be appropriate she comment on matters which related to the review now under way.
