Deputy Mayor Tom Campbell said today the mayor was scheduled to undergo quadruple bypass heart surgery next Wednesday.
He would remain in Dunedin Hospital with his family until then.
“I have spoken to Nobby today and he remains positive and is really chomping at the bit to get it over with and back on the road to recovery,” said Campbell.
Campbell said Clark’s recovery was likely to take a couple of months and he would take the reins at council in the meantime.
