Why I'm standing
I am putting myself forward for council as I believe the town needs more local amenities for winter usage, eg indoor centre with climbing walls, kids games. Diversify what our tourists can do on a rainy day to keep their families in Kaikōura not to move on to another town.
About me
I was born in Kaikōura, apart from 13 years in Christchurch I have lived in Kaikōura. I have been a manager of several different retail stores and a business owner. I have also been a farmer. All very different job descriptions where I have gained business skills, problem-solving techniques and generally learnt to ask the hard questions.
My priorities
- Ask the voters to vote for myself for the council.
- Ensure that we can repay debt without the rates being increased.
- Discover what the local residents want the council to repair, replace or build for Kaikōura.
