| Maungakiekie Tāmaki Local Board Member
Why I'm standing
I am currently in my second term as a local board member, over half as deputy chair and acting chair in 2017. As a team we have achieved a lot in the last six years but there is a lot of unfinished business due to Covid. I am committed to ensuring rate payer funds are managed fiducially and that all of our constituents have an opportunity to be heard.
About me
I see myself as the voice of the people who I am elected to represent and have never hesitated in standing up when the majority of our community has voiced concerns such as when our roads were cut off by blue boxes in the Low Traffic Neighbourhood trial. I offer an experienced strategic and enterprising perspective to the local board. I add value through smart leadership, common sense, solutions-focused and a collaborative approach.
My priorities
- Ensure Onehunga gets fully integrated accessible transport hub incorporating bus and train services.
- Address the inequity of three Maungakiekie Local Board elected members vs four from the Tāmaki subdivision.
- Hold Auckland Transport (AT) to account and return the direct Onehunga to Britomart train service.
