Why I'm standing
I am running to ensure public consultation leads to local decisions, for example no to Three Waters?
About me
I am a construction engineer who has worked on major projects for over 40 years. Including Te Kaha and Lincoln University. I can bring this experience to support Selwyn's new facilities.
My priorities
- Allow the community to make its own informed decisions regarding the Three Waters legislation.
- Ensure that we implement the Rolleston flyover right first time and that it is future proof.
- Sustainable housing development to support our districts growth.
