Gore District Council has spent $11,000 on facilitation in the hopes of leaving its troubles behind.

They've been keeping tight-lipped about chief executive, Stephen Parry, and his clash with young mayor, Ben Bell.

After months of requests Mr Bell and his deputy, Keith Hovell, sat down for an interview with Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown.
