Why I'm standing
I am running for election because having been involved with the council for the last five years I feel the community have been forgotten and I think that I can help to bring the council back to community-centric decision making. I am passionate about making a difference and will bring 100% effort, attention and tenacity to this work. We need a new council and we need change.
About me
I have lived in Lincoln for 22+ years and raised my family here. I am hugely involved with the community through my work with Lincoln Voice. I have advocated and petitioned on many issues including protecting our highly productive land; medium-density rezoning; trees; safer roads, crossings and intersections; lack of infrastructure; safe water; the WSCCO; community facilities and activities; community representation; few police; and heritage buildings. I am also a passionate community patroller with CPNZ.
My priorities
- Have genuine consultation to listen to the community.
- Reduce predicted rates rises so that Selwyn remains an affordable place to live.
- Ensure safe, uncontaminated drinking water for communities.
