Three Dunedin City Councillors, Dave Cull, Kate Wilson and Chris Staynes, have formed an incorporated society, called Greater Dunedin, in preparation for next year's Local Body Elections.

Greater Dunedin's stated purpose is not to rigidly dictate policies, but to promote 'good quality candidates' onto Council.

According to Cull, only new blood can change the direction Dunedin is currently heading.

He says the trio want Council to be more transparent and financially responsible, as he thinks irresponsible decisions have led to ballooning debt.
