David Pottinger

Why I'm standing

I offer the voters a mixture of skills and knowledge and am not happy about the way things are being done at present.

About me

I am a problem solver, a facilitator and above all a team player. The council needs to function as a team.

My priorities

To have the Invercargill City Council function as a team to better serve the needs of the people.
To promote action in areas left in limbo and to adopt strategies for forseeable problems.
To bring some common sense to the whole area which behaves at times like a circus.
