It’s time for Council Chitchat, our fortnightly catch‑up with Gore District Mayor Ben Bell. We reflect on how the term is shaping up so far, what Council has been focused on behind the scenes, and the issues locals are most concerned about right now. Ben also explains why “Bookings with the Mayor” are back, what people usually bring to those one‑on‑one conversations, and why face‑to‑face chats still matter. Straight‑up conversation about the big and practical issues across the district.
