Why I'm standing
It is no good complaining about the council if you are not prepared to stand and try to help.
About me
I am passionate about the area I live in and believe I can have a good input into keeping it that way.
My priorities
- Putting a halt to the Three Waters takeover.
- Keeping unnecessary expenditure to a minimum.
- To make this place a desirable place to work live and play in.
