What the candidates said

ABOUT 30 people attended the "Meet the Candidates" forum at the New Norfolk District Football Clubrooms on Saturday afternoon. Organiser Ngaire Glover introduced former Glenorchy City Council general manager Frank Pearce as the moderator and thanked Elaine Dwyer and Jacky Whitehead for providing afternoon tea.

Mr Pearce kept the proceedings running smoothly throughout the afternoon. A draw was conducted to determine the order in which the candidates would speak. Each candidate was given five minutes to state their case, followed by five minutes for questions. Afternoon tea was served after the nine councillor candidates had spoken.

The second session provided an opportunity for the two mayoral candidates and three deputy mayoral candidates to have their say and face questions.
