	Description:		Rotorua's new mayor has sat down with Housing Minister Megan Woods to discuss the city's burgeoning emergency accomodation. It's been a hugely controversial issue, with many of the motels along the famous Fenton Street in the tourist town, now full with emergency housing tenants. Locals say they feel intimitated, there's an increase in violence and at recent public meetings they have pleaded with the government not to extend the system. Rotorua's new mayor Tania Tapsell has called for an immediate stop to motel contracts. She talks to Rowan Quinn.
