Gill Duncan

Northern Ward Councillor

Why I'm standing

I have spent six years on council and now want to convert all the tries to this point for Taihape. I am standing for the TCB to be hometown specific and deliver a winning score.

About me

I am a people person. I like to talk but also to listen and be part of a winning team. My country lifestyle complements my love of social interaction and Taihape is a happening place.

My priorities

  1. Reinstate the town hall as our civic heart. This building is the town hub and its life facilitates us.
  2. Grandstand for memorial park. Getting this project over the line gets me up in the morning.
  3. Make real what else council has promised Taihape.
