Passing of ex-Wellington City Councillor Bryan Pepperell - Mayor Justin Lester pays tribute
Wellington Mayor Justin Lester has the following comments on news of the death of Bryan Pepperell, a long-serving Wellington City Councillor until 2013:
“Bryan was a highly-principled man and someone who
had strongly left-wing and progressive views.
“He always took the side of the underdog and
fought hard against attempts to privatise Council operations
and assets.
“He was a popular and
long-serving councillor in the Southern Ward. He also
usually polled well in mayoral elections – much to the
frustration of other left-leaning candidates.
“Bryan was a quirky and humorous speaker around
the Council table. He was always good company and a man able
to get on with other councillors and mayors – even if he
was not enthused with their
politics.”
