Former Gore mayor Ian "Inky" Tulloch remains in the intensive care unit at Christchurch Hospital but his condition is improving, his family says.

"He still requires extensive care and surgery for a serious foot injury, which is scheduled . . . over the next week.''

In the statement, the family acknowledged "‘everyone for their ongoing love, support and prayers''.

Mr Tulloch (65) was injured in a high-speed crash at Teretonga Park, Invercargill, on March 20.
