After celebrating the Hawke's Bay reorganisation poll result with family, friends and supporters at his home, Central Hawke's Bay Mayor Peter Butler said he was now looking forward to "just getting on with the job".
On waking yesterday, he said the overwhelming feeling for both he and his wife Jeanette
was relief that the process was over.
"It was five years ago that Lawrence [Yule] first presented on this to our council.
"For three years it's been in the back of our minds, and for the last two years it's been at the front of our minds.
"It's made my job less pleasant than it should be."
