Why I'm standing
I am rural ward councillor with knowledge and experience in that area. I am passionate to preserve our open spaces.
About me
Due to experience, I am well know in all my communities. Because Kakepuku is now included I will do my best to represent that area and their concerns.
My priorities
- Ensure our rural spread is restricted to planned developments.
- Keep control on rates. I am fully aware the rural sector pays significant property rates.
- To provide an experienced rural voice around the council table.
