Businessman Tenby Powell has announced he will be running for mayor of Tauranga.
His first call: An immediate town hall debate of all mayoral candidates.
"I'm calling for a town hall debate of all mayoral candidates immediately to ensure the people of Tauranga are exposed to all candidates from the
outset and are able to conduct their own public due diligence".
Veteran broadcaster and Tauranga resident, Peter Williams had agreed to chair the debate which Powell hoped would be picked up by local media in the form of a series of debates.
He said it might seem early, but the amount of calls, messages and emails he was receiving from Tauranga residents was overwhelming.
