A sudden change of heart echoed silently around the room as Gore District Councillors passed up the opportunity to boot their young mayor just days after loudly calling for him to resign.

Crowds of locals turned up to the extraordinary public meeting to support Gore Mayor Ben Bell, cheering him on as the motion for a vote of no confidence was met with silence and eventually lapsed.

The community's strong backing showed through protests demanding the resignation of CEO Steve Parry, who’s been at odds with Bell.

Inside the council meeting, Bell received a warm welcome and applause despite the recent controversy.

The councillors pledged their solidarity with the mayor, shifting the focus to rebuilding trust and getting on with the job.
