Keeping rate rises to inflation (CPI)
Keeping rate rises to inflation (CPI)
I'm running for Mayor because Hastings needs a council that puts people first, manages money wisely, and delivers on the basics like roads, water, rubbish, and reliable infrastructure. For too long, ratepayers have faced double-digit increases while wasteful projects and poor financial oversight have driven debt to unsustainable levels. That must change.
I bring 24 years of frontline service in the Police, including a decade as a Sergeant leading teams, managing stations, and working as a prosecutor. I then spent 10 years running successful motels in Napier, giving me first-hand experience in business, budgeting, and customer service. I also served two terms as a councillor in Feilding, where I kept rate increases capped to inflation while still delivering strong infrastructure.
