Mayor of New Plymouth
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Transport infrastructure. Traffic flow – we don't need to pay an expert, we just need common sense. Build a bridge, a pedestrian underpass – easy.
Traffic congestion. Stop making footpath and islands hold up traffic. Put in a yellow line where parking affects traffic flow. Simple stuff.
Road Safety. Fix the pot holes. Fix it once! Design things that work. It's not rocket science. Better traffic flow will create safer roads.
Public transport. Combination: public buses, private enterprises, communication around better services.
Traffic congestion. Planning and Optimising the problem areas around the districts.
Transport infrastructure. Committed to repairing our roads. Communication with contractors/LTSA. Bridge replacements.
Continue to advocate to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to change the funding model to enable districts to retain funding locally.
I support the integration of public transportation into the districts transportation plan by advocating to Taranaki Regional Council who hold legal responsibility.
Road to zero. I support lower speeds near schools and highly hazardous areas but I do not support lowering speeds on rural roads.
