| Kaimai Ward Councillor & Chair of Community Committee
I am standing as I want to change the structure so the councillors are in control and not staff, as is the case now. People first and making sure the mayor's door is open to work with the community, ensuring together with staff we solve problems as quickly as possible. Providing more land to make sure young people can afford to live in our district, which they cannot do now. Too expensive.
I was first elected in 1977 after I had shifted a tennis club from its own land and re-established it on a public park very successfully. Second woman ever and six years later I became its first female chairman. With years of experience, I have much to offer, be it working with ratepayers and solving their challenges with staff. Our council needs respected leadership, which we don't have. I want to work with councillors too.
