Thank You to the People of Nelson

Heartened by a significant majority, returning Nelson City Mayor Rachel Reese celebrated a resounding re-election with supporters at her at home on Saturday afternoon. Comfortable in the knowledge that the result endorsed both the success of her inaugural term and the platform of policies she presented, Reese was enjoying the moment and looking forward to getting back to business.

“Election time will always be the biggest distraction any Mayor faces”, laughed Reese “But this result completely supports the fact that Nelsonians - in the main, are happy with the direction this Council is going in, and confident that we have the City’s best interests at heart. Yes, we’ve got some new faces at the table but that’s exciting. What it means is that the democratic process is working. On this occasion the voters of Nelson have chosen to stay with what they felt was working but have also been confident to make changes where they felt it was needed.”
Mayor Reese and the 2016 Councillors will be sworn in on Thursday 27th October 2016.
