Why I'm standing
I'm running for community board as I've a lot to offer. People and environment are my passions. Te Whakaraupō our beautiful harbour unites us, and it is my home. Let's aim to keep it as a vibrant, inclusive and forward-thinking community. Our climate is changing, we need to adapt and do better for our moana, whenua and tamariki. Recently I advocated for a morning bus for our students, and there is more we can do.
About me
My background is in small business, science and environmental studies and I have also worked at the Christchurch City Council in waste minimisation. Over the last 19 years, I have been periodically on the Residents Association, and I'm always doing volunteer work in the community and with multi-cultural groups. I'm an appointed Justice of the Peace, and I currently work on London Street.
My priorities
- Get better bus services to the bays.
- Connected communities, from Lyttelton to Rāpaki where the buses start, we can connect communities.
- Clean and healthy bays by planting to reduce landslips, sediment and increasing biodiversity.
