Nelson City Council

Anne Michele Dickinson
Why I'm standing
Hold a deep belief that, with encouragement, the community can act with cohesion to build local resiliency by connecting and strengthening existing mahi for a wellbeing economy. Promote citizen assemblies and participatory budgeting. Focus on relocating resources rather than requiring new funding. Support collective housing models such as co-housing and community land trusts. Restore wetlands and stream banks. Require developers to have adequate silt settling ponds to ensure clean waterways reach the ocean. Aim for us to be good ancestors, recognising environment is everywhere.
About me
I moved to Nelson 40 years ago. I am remarried and have financially supported and helped raise four children and now six grandchildren. I have been a postie, a firefighter, done jury duty, and ran a successful business for 37 years. I have sat on a wide spectrum of community committees and boards. I am a team player with a love for nurturing nature. I was raised as a Quaker (Christian) to be the best person I can be every day and pay my taxes.
My priorities
- Ensure safe, clean water for drinking, swimming and a healthy Tasman Bay. Provide rainwater tanks for new builds.
- Raise community wellbeing mentally and physically through education and connection with nature.
- Improve transparency, democracy and Te Tiriti by placing nature and community at the centre of the economy.
