It's a big day for the Gore District Council with a meeting this afternoon to vote on a no confidence in its 24-year-old mayor Ben Bell. The Mayor and the council's chief executive, Stephen Parry, aren't speaking and the fractured relationship is causing ructions around the council table. A petition calling for Mr Parry to resign has gained thousands of signatures.
Today the council will also vote to remove Mr Bell from all committees and to call for the Local Government Minister to intervene. And highest-polling councilor Nigel Skelt has resigned as an Invercargill city councillor after earlier resigning as Stadium Southland's general following a sexual harassment complaint. Logan also talks to Kathryn about Woodlands Rugby Club celebrating 125 years and a recent charity ride from Queenstown to Invercargill involving three former All Blacks.
