The Wellington Amalgamation could grow into eight councils instead of the previously expected "tight" four.

Nick speaks to Porirua Mayor Anita Baker, who is very strongly for the amalgamation.

Mayor Baker shares her preferences for amalgmation and addresses concerns that Porirua rates are among the highest in the country. 

She says people are hesitant as jobs may go, but she "doesn't care" if her job goes if it means amalgamation for the betterment of the city.
