They are not expecting an immediate answer, but a majority of Dunedin city councillors yesterday publicly put the question to those in charge of beleaguered council companies Delta and Aurora. Twelve councillors and Mayor Dave Cull yesterday supported a motion to ask council-owned Dunedin City Holdings Ltd (DCHL) to ''urgently advise'' whether it still had confidence in the chairman and board of Delta and Aurora. Cr David Benson-Pope included the question in a notice of motion to a council meeting yesterday. But Cr Benson-Pope said the question needed to be asked in public to make sure the public knew the council was concerned about it. The motion passed 12-3, with Crs Whiley, Doug Hall and Mike Lord voting against.
