Gore District Council boss Stephen Parry says a senior manager’s praise needs to be considered alongside a petition calling for his own removal as interim chief executive.
In an email, Parry said the manager’s praise of council staff was “far more informed and on point than the saliva-filled toxin emanating from people who have just heard on the grapevine, not witnessed” how the council operates.
Parry was replying to an email from Rex Capil, the council’s general manager of community lifestyle services, that was sent to councillors and some journalists on Sunday morning.
Capil’s email said the council’s operational culture and senior leadership team was “the best I have been involved with in local government”.
