A small faction of Wellington City Councillors are raising concerns about mayor Tory Whanau's admission that she has a problem with alcohol.
Whanau - who declined our request for an interview - says she's only human, is getting the help she needs, and is entirely committed to the role.
At least one councillor - Nicola Young - is calling for the mayor to step down, though the majority are expressing their support.
Takapu/Northern ward councillor Tony Randle spoke to Corin Dann.
