Manager Parks and Facilities, Rosie Bartlett, and Team Leader Facilities, Gary Alsop, presented the report, noting that this decision was before the committee as a petition had previously been received from local residents. They answered questions and discussion took place regarding environmental and safety considerations in residential areas, previous culls, Nelson Nature, sustainable management of the deer population and the culling tender process.
