The hands on Mayor

Radio NZ reports:

Christchurch’s mayor has taken it upon himself to shift an abandoned double trailer unit following months of inaction by his council.

The Press reported Aranui residents had complained to the council 20 times about the now graffitied trailer blocking views from their homes for eight months.

“I just hate it. Every morning when you come out of the house it’s right in your face – it’s absolutely massive,” local man Paul Gallagher told the paper.

In a video post to social media on Saturday, Phil Mauger was seen hooking the unit to a truck before towing it down Cuthberts Road, out of sight of neighbouring residents.

Mauger said he took action after nothing was done.

Great job Mayor Mauger.

Residents will love a Mayor who doesn’t just talk, but acts.
