Why I'm standing

Having served one term, I want to ensure some continuity of important existing plans and projects and understanding of issues, into the next three years.

About me

Being retired, I have plenty of time to devote to community board activities. I have a reputation of being a good listener, able to take in various views on any issue and make a sound, considered judgement. My long experience in community group leadership in Motueka gives me understanding of governance and close knowledge of the local scene in the town I chose as my own.

My priorities
  1. Ensure that current planning and projects of Tasman District Council and the board continue to completion.
  2. Finish work on the planned new indoor swimming pool and landscaping around the new library.
  3. Work with leading community volunteer groups to support them in projects beneficial to the community
