Geoff Taylor
Deputy Mayor of Hamilton
Why I'm standing
I want to restore Hamilton's independence as a city and ensure its control of its own destiny. Hamilton has a proud history of being independent and fearless. Let's stop jumping every time the government produces a hasty, silly law. I want to enable a River Precinct on Victoria St and an iconic footbridge across to Hamilton East. And I will stop uncontrolled subdivision going on across our city. There are better alternatives.
About me
I'm completing my second term and am currently deputy mayor. I have shown a determination to get things done and prefer action over talking. I led the introduction of two hours free parking. I'm a former journalist at the Waikato Times and I own a writing and publishing business. I want to listen to residents and with my wife Julie have run Common Sense BBQs around the city for nearly a year. We've loved it.
My priorities
- Enable a river precinct turning Victoria St to face the river and an iconic footbridge to Ham East.
- Stop uncontrolled, ugly subdivisions that are ruining our suburbs.
- Regain Hamilton's independence by standing up to the government on policies that will hurt out city.
