The People's Choice - Labour
My principal place of residence is in the Cashmere Ward area. I am also standing for the Cashmere Ward of the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board.
I'm standing to ensure we get the priorities right moving forward, with increased transparency and financial nous for ratepayers.
I've spent 20+ years managing large public and private sector projects and I'm confident that by making sounder decisions and getting the basics right, we can deliver more for our communities and within our financial constraints. I'll fight to: Protect our precious water resources; Get the basics right first; Keep rates low and prioritise spending; Support Port Hills conservation; Secure regional investment through central government.
I have broad volunteer experience as a Rotarian, youth mentor and representative on the Summit Road Society. During the rebuild I delivered new Social Housing and reduced the associated costs by up-to 50% through waste reduction, enabling more warm and sustainable homes to be built for our most vulnerable residents.
I'm motivated, approachable and always have an open door. Call 021772929
