Linda Cooper
Independent
| Councillor for Waitākere = Auckland Council's
Why I'm standing
I believe more funding needs to be focused in West Auckland for public transport and facilities like a Northwest pool and Henderson and Glen Eden towns' redevelopment. Our area is growing rapidly and needs a matching response with much needed infrastructure to enable people to get around easily to work and recreation opportunities close to home. Dedicated funding for weed and pest management to protect the Waitākere Ranges and our beautiful West Coast beaches.
About me
My record is common sense decision making, practical solutions and always being available for the community. I've always worked for the West. I've held many roles in the Waitākere City and Auckland Councils as well as leading local community organisations such as Hospice, Family Action, Waitākere Healthlink and Waitākere Licensing Trust. I am a JP and former nurse. I live in West Harbour and remain committed to serving our community. Backing the West.
My priorities
- An overhaul of Auckland Transport. Better public relationships and action on maintenence and safety.
- Increasing well paid job options for our young people with focus on our Pacific and Māori youth.
- Providing open space in high density areas and protecting our natural environment and water quality
