Member Devonlort-Takapuna Local Board

Why I'm standing

I want to see new board members prepared to devote a good level of time to their duties.

About me

A long period in local government has given me a strong understanding of the requirements of the job.

My priorities

  1. Balance the budget by sorting out the $460,000 shortfall caused by fairer funding.
  2. Sort out the linkage between Esmonde Road and Francis Street which has been around for years.
  3. Get the reserves management plan finalised.
