Christchurch's Mayor is giving no definitive answers on whether he'll stand again

Phil Mauger's approaching the tail end of his first stint, with local elections next year.

Mauger says he's still weighing up re-running.

He says he's very busy at the moment but enjoying the role, and with a lot left to do he'll be contemplating his decision first thing next year.

Mauger says they've just come up for air from the Long Term Plan, and he's looking forward getting stuck into GPS transport work before deciding.
