Tawa Community Board

The Tawa Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Wellington City Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of eight members: six members elected by voters, and two councillors from the Wellington City Council.  This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Tawa Community Board election.

Why I'm standing

I'm concerned that there is wastage of resources, both time and money, and neglect of basic infrastructure at a council level. My contributions to the board will reflect this concern.

About me

I feel that often 'career councillors' are out of touch with the rest of us, therefore a balance needs to be struck of those that are established cogs in the machine, and fresh faces that represent a cross section of the community, offering different perspectives and world views. I don't feel constrained by political correctness and will offer my perspective where it is required.

My priorities
  1. Resolve the Spicer Landfill odour issues. The affected residents have put up with it for too long.
  2. Promote and fund more community gardens and food growing education.
  3. To resolve issues quickly and in a cost-effective manner as they arise.
