For the final Local Edition of 2024, Georgina is joined by  Herald senior writer Simon Wilson and former Mayor and Infrastructure New Zealand chief executive Nick Leggett to wrap the highs and lows of local politics. They discuss:

• The issues facing Tory Whanau and Wellington Council
• How Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown bounced back from a rough 2023
• What central Government wants from councils 
• Rising rates and costs
• Which mayors from small towns performed the best - and who needs improvement?
