Wellington Mayor Andy Foster has called for an independent review into Wellington City Council's governance. We asked all 14 Wellington City councillors where they stand on Mayor Andy Foster’s announcement this week that he was calling for an independent review into the council to try to overcome the divisions on the elected board. Jenny CondieTakapū/Northern Ward, councillor since 2019Q: Do you have confidence in Mayor Andy Foster's ability to lead the council?
