NZ - Resistance to fluoridation
Councillor Raises Concerns Over Fluoride Decision
7:37 AM, 10 Aug 2006
A veteran Far North district council member is challenging the way his council decided to fluoridate public water supplies. The Council's water committee decided by a casting vote to go ahead with fluoridation in Kaitaia and Kaikohe, after an opinion poll of 600 people found majority support for it. Denis Bowman says he believes the issue is too significant to be decided by a handful of people and a hung committee. He says he has been inundated with calls from Kaitaia people saying they want a referendum and he supports them. Mr Bowman says he intends to raise the concerns at a Far North council meeting today.
