Principal of TKKM o Te Wānanga Whare Tapere o Takitimu, Fleur Wainohu has called to question the anti-kura stance of Hastings District councillor Malcolm Dixon.
Ms Wainohu wrote a letter to the editor today, which came after the decision was made last Thursday not to relocate the controversial Kura to the Arataki Motor Camp.
The decision was based on an environmental evaluation of the site, which found it was not suitable due to the omissions from the nearby Te Mata Mushroom's operation.
Ms Wainohu said in her letter they had endured 18 months of his letters to the editor and wanted to know how Mr Dixon could make decisions for them about where they should or should not relocate to.
Mr Dixon responded to the comments made yesterday and said he got involved because he was approached by a member of the board.
