The Dunedin City Council has offered the Occupy Dunedin protesters a compromise in the form of a symbolic tent and information kiosk at the Octagon, if they stop camping there.

Mayor Dave Cull delivered a letter this afternoon offering the compromise to try to avoid 'a protracted legal battle over the Bill of Rights.'

The council served the trespass notice on the occupiers earlier in the week, but Police have not yet chosen to remove the protesters.

Late this afternoon 9 Local News spoke with members of the Occupy group, who say a response to the DCC will be discussed at this evening's general assembly.
