Steve Laurence
Councillor
Why I'm standing
I have learned a lot about local government in my first term on council. I like to think I have contributed to good decisions around infrastructure, spending and financial management. I will be able to build on lessons learned in a second term.
About me
I have been in Carterton since 2008 and run Almo's Books in the High Street since 2010. I am involved in Carterton Rotary and in the business group until conflict of interest issues intervened. I had a long career with national and multinational businesses after graduating in Commerce from Massey. I am reasonable and logical and contribute to resolving issues that inevitably arise among a group of people with diverse priorities.
My priorities
- Encourage economic and population growth to underpin development of the high street.
- Protect the community if affordability issues lead to likely restructure of local government.
- Promote resilience in Carterton to flooding, inundation and drought resulting from climate change.
