A former Porirua Mayor and Wellington mayoral candidate says there is a failure of leadership and systemic problems within the Wellington City Council.
Mayor Andy Foster says he announced an independent review of the council's governance because he was worried some councillors would jump the gun and announce one themselves.
Nick Leggett was Mayor of Porirua from 2010 until 2016, when he bid for the Wellington Mayoralty, and spoke to Māni Dunlop.
