Invercargill City Council is moving forward following sexual harassment allegations.

In a letter of resignation from her job at Stadium Southland, an 18-year-old alleged that the manager, Councillor Nigel Skelt, asked her if she wanted to do 'jelly wrestling' naked.

Skelt has resigned from his role today - weeks after he retired from the stadium on medical grounds and for personal reasons.

Invercargill City Councillor Ria Bond told Heather Du Plessis-Allan that they're dealing with these issues better than the previous council.
