There's further calls for Government intervention in Wellington City Council after a rough TV interview from the mayor.

Tory Whanau has faced criticism following a Q&A interview where she backtracked on why she sold her car, contradicted herself, and got confused on questions.

Local councillor Diane Calvert has been calling for a Crown facilitator on the council.

She now says people have lost trust in the council.

"A lot of people have rung me, texted me, or stopped me in the street - we're really sad about what's happening in our city. It needs some leadership and it's not there."
