Wanganui Mayor Michael Laws says it is bizarre and wrong that a group of district councillors has accepted an invitation to visit the Hells Angels gang headquarters in the city.
Mr Laws says their decision can only provide support for criminals and their wrong-doing.
Councillors Rob Vinsen, Philippa Baker-Hogan and Sue Westwood have accepted the invite, but Mr Laws believes three other councillors will also go on the visit to the gang property next Tuesday.
The council failed to force the removal of fences around the gang headquarters that are described as “intimidating”.
