Shona Powell
Standing For You
| Community board chair
Why I'm standing
I have achieved a lot in promoting this area and making sure that we are recognised by council and others, but there is still more to be done. I care about the communities I have represented and advocated for during the last six years as board chair.
About me
Living locally and being actively involved in the communities means that I am aware of what is happening. I have made myself available and accessible by being out and about, volunteering, and attending events. I have kept the community informed about what is happening through The Woodpecker, the board's Facebook page, speaking at gatherings and posting on community social media. I don't just talk about things, I actually do something.
My priorities
- Getting the State Highway 1 safety improvements through Woodend and at the Pegasus roundabout underway by New Zealand Transport Agency.
- Progressing the community centre for Pegasus which then enables the youth initiative to get underway.
- Finding ways of continually improving two-way communication with the communities.
