Whangarei District Council has continued its position against putting fluoride into the District’s water supply. 

At an Extraordinary Council Meeting today (Wednesday 12 February 2025), the Council voted to seek a declaration proceeding, which is a hearing where the court would be presented with evidence on the safety or otherwise of fluoride, from scientific experts, and make a judgement.
