Council clean-out

October 13, 2010

“I knew there was a groundswell for change. But I didn’t realise I would lose over half the district council,� says Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman. “It’s certainly not business as usual,� he says of the elections that saw him lose eight of the thirteen-strong council. Two members, Jill Bunting of the Blenheim Ward and Andrew Barker of Wairau Awatere, had stood down. Another four of the seven Blenheim councillors have been replaced, as have both the former Picton Ward councillors, leaving just five of the previous team. Continued Page 4.

3rd Term Alistair Sowman is moving into his third term as Marlborough’s Mayor. He was first elected to the position in 2004, having served one term as a councillor from 2001.
