Why I'm standing
I believe Tawa is a vibrant place to live but that it is often forgotten about by council. My aim will be to advocate on behalf of Tawa.
About me
I won't make promises that I have no power to deliver on. What I will do is listen, and be an advocate between the community, the board and the council. I've raised two children in Tawa and have been involved in many local groups. I am a registered accounting technician and work as a manager for a nation-wide medical charity. I sit on the WFA Consumer Council.
My priorities
- Oppose the planned landfill extension, but if it proceeds, work to mitigate the effects on Tawa
- Work to get Tawa pool reopened as soon as possible and keep it open.
- Look at ways we can reduce the level of crime in the community and make Tawa the safest suburb.
