Why I'm standing
I want to continue the work of the past three years where I have worked in the best interest of the Burwood area and the east as a whole. I have had a major focus on keeping people informed of local issues, road works and consultation items, but more importantly taking note of resident feedback and voting accordingly. I want to continue to make a difference in our community.
About me
I have experience leading teams and organisations as highlighted by coaching the NZ Wheel Blacks to the 2020 Paralympics and managing a manufacturing business for over 10 years. This has helped me to make practical, commercially sensible decisions over this past community board term. I have also challenged CCC staff when needed and voted against speed bumps at intersections with traffic lights.
My priorities
- Stop speed bumps being put in at intersections with traffic lights.
- Continue to get infrastructure repaired, replaced and upgraded.
- Build a new community facility in the north of our ward where there is an identified network gap.
