Why I'm standing

My track record is evidence I have taken the role of councillor very seriously and work hard. I will provide experience and continuity.

About me

My strong community connections, and regular attendance at residents meetings and public forums, being a good listener and responding promptly to residents queries are vital for balanced decision making.

My priorities
  1. Standing up for our neighbourhood character and sensible urban planning, while ensuring green space.
  2. Protecting our existing trees, increasing tree canopy for Christchurch, "A City in a Park".
  3. Ensuring council keeps rates affordable, ensuring services are delivered, and spending is prudent.
