Why I'm standing

The council needs open, robust debate and I am not afraid to take an opposing view or ask the hard questions if it leads to better decision-making. The council also needs to focus on delivery, from major projects through to the processing of consents. We need to be a vibrant district for new businesses and people so the local economy grows to benefit everyone.

About me

As a former journalist, I am used to asking the hard questions around the council table for the benefit of the community. I also want to make the district a vibrant place to live so the council needs to focus on getting things done.
