There are fears the voices of people living with a disability in Auckland will no longer be heard if the city council goes ahead with a proposal to disestablish its two disability advisor roles.

The roles are being reviewed, along with many others, as the council looks to down-size its Community Development and Safety team from 101 positions to 78.

Carol Stiles talks to Auckland Disability Law Manager, Neera Jain,  and Debbie Hager from Auckland's Domestic Violence and Disability Working Group.
