Sir Francis was on the Wellington City Council from 1950 to 1956, when he became mayor. He also served on the Wellington Harbour Board and Wellington Hospital Board from 1950. Sir Francis was known for his tireless Public Service , which continued after his retirement, including to Wellington's immigrant community. He died a few years after his term ended. He was knighted in 1966. Frank Kitts Park on Wellington's waterfront is named after him. The park, on the site formerly used for a row of wharf sheds, was opened in 1976 and extended in the late 1980s. There is a children's playground, the orange foremast recovered from the '' Wahine '', and a water sculpture ''The Albatross'' by Tanya Ashken. |
