Invercargill mayor Sir Tim Shadbolt is still using council-owned buildings for personal storage, three months after he made headlines over the unorthodox arrangement. On Friday, a council spokesman confirmed the mayor was continuing to work through the removal of personal items from both the council's main building in downtown Invercargill and Awarua farmhouse, between Invercargill and Bluff. Mystery still surrounds how the mayor's items ended up at the rural Southland address.

In March, Clark helped Shadbolt clear personal possessions from a council-owned schoolhouse on the outskirts of the city.
