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.
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.
