Former candidate to focus on building new school
Former City Council candidate, Roger Ellis, confirmed today that he would not be standing for Wellington City Council at the elections in October.
“Since the last election I have gained further senior management responsibilities with my employer. I am also very keen to continue working on the Establishment Board of Trustees to complete the new Amesbury School, in Churton Park, during the next 18 months. These commitments together with some community volunteer projects mean that I am not able to devote the time required for a council campaign this year” said Roger Ellis.
“I am making this announcement because a number of people have approached me regarding being a candidate at the election” said Roger Ellis.
