Why I'm standing

I am concerned at the direction local government is going in particular with regard to "accessible democracy". The focus for council should be on providing cost effective services with the minimum of fuss.

About me

I have been involved in the local community as a volunteer for decades so know many of the issues. I am accessible to all my constituents and will listen. I have management and small business experience so understand what is involved in reaching a positive outcome.

My priorities
  1. Stop Three Waters! My priority as a local survey had over 90% of respondents against this.
  2. Focus on core services and no monuments! People are already doing it tough so let's keep costs down.
  3. Fix the roads! Often promised but limited results from previous councils.
