Neville George Pickering {{post-nominals|country=NZL|MBE|size=85%}} (18 November 1923 – 25 June 1988) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party.

Early life

Pickering was born in 1923.[1] He married Alexia Pickering, who would become a notable disability advocate. They adopted three children before she had another child of her own.[2]

In the {{NZ election link year|1949}} and {{NZ election link|1951}}s, Pickering stood in the {{NZ electorate link|Awarua}} electorate, but lost against the incumbent, George Richard Herron of the National Party. In the {{NZ election link|1954}}, he lost against Alfred James Davey in the {{NZ electorate link|Waimate}} electorate. Pickering won the 1957 election in the St Albans electorate in 1957, one of six new Labour MPs.[3] He was defeated in the 1960 election by Bert Walker.[4]

In 1962, Pickering was elected onto Christchurch City Council.[5] He served for nine years as a councillor before he was elected Mayor of Christchurch from 1971 to 1974, when he was defeated by Hamish Hay.[6] In 1972, Pickering boycotted an Anzac Day wreath-laying at Cathedral Square, protesting against the Returned Services' Association's restrictions on who could lay wreaths.[7]

Having lost the mayoralty, his wife insisted on moving back to Wellington.[2] In the {{NZ election link|1978}}, he stood in the {{NZ electorate link|Wellington Central}} electorate but lost against Ken Comber.[8] Two years later he stood for the Wellington City Council and narrowly missed out on election.[9]

Awards and commemoration

In the 1985 New Year Honours, PIckering was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to local government.[10] Pickering Courts, a council housing project in St Albans designed for the elderly containing 25 units built in 1978 was named in his honour.[1] Pickering died on 25 June 1988 and is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Christchurch.[11] His wife, who subsequently remarried, died in 2017.[2][12][13]
