Former Nelson City Councillor Eric Davy remembered

Former Nelson City Councillor Eric Davy passed away suddenly on Friday 4 June.

Davy worked for the New Zealand Police for over 40 years, before serving four terms as a councillor between 2001 and 2016.

Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese said Davy cared passionately for his community and brought a wealth of experience on transport systems and safety to his role.

"Eric was a very kind person and a pleasure to work with. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Eric's family at this very sad time. Eric has worked closely with many of our staff and councillors over the years and his loss will be keenly felt."
