Invercargill City Councillor Ian Pottinger is in Christchurch hospital recovering after surgery to remove pressure from a brain bleed.
Ian had been suffering from headaches the previous week and went to his doctor who arranged a CT scan, which then lead to him being helicoptered to Christchurch last Friday, 5th August.
His wife Alice Pottinger said Ian is making a speedy recovery and looking forward getting stuck into campaigning for re election onto council.
