Bryan Vickery
NPDC Councillor
Why I'm standing
I champion my community. I am an exemplary community leader and use my talents to uplift the community. I support New Plymouth being called the sustainably lifestyle capital of NZ and I am committed to ensuring that happens and is equitable for everyone.
About me
I am a New Plymouth District Council incumbent councillor seeking re-election. I am a former broadcaster and political journalist, high school deputy principal and tutor of journalists. I also have a not-for-profit media platform Bryan Vickery Media Taranaki. I am well known for my community service and supporting the not-for-profit sector. I am actuated by my love of the community. My priority is reining in rates while ensuring council does not make negative, reactive decisions.
My priorities
- Rein in rates and reassess major capital projects, such as the coastal walkway extension.
- Renew the CBD as retailers have had a torrid time, especially due to the sleeping rough community.
- Improve fiscal responsibility without undermining the quality of life that the district boasts.
