Marlborough District Council

Marlborough Sounds General Ward
The Marlborough District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also passes local regulations and makes decisions about infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage, and about the region’s resources, including water, soil and the coastline. The council is made up of 14 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Three councillors will be elected from the Marlborough Sounds ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing

See answer below.

About me

I am a passionate Marlburian from an over 100-year resident family. As a pensioner, with time, and extensive and varied entrepreneurial experience, as well as significant public sector and voluntary involvement, I feel ideally positioned to make an informed and very positive contribution to managing the affairs of our wonderful province.

My priorities
  1. Ensure that local issues are resolved from local decisions, not edicts from Wellington.
  2. Ensure ratepayers get value for theirs.
  3. Positive communication with constituents, primarily listening to and understanding their issues.
