Linwood Ward

My principal place of residence is in the Linwood Ward area. I am also standing for Linwood Ward of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

We need to focus on protecting our water assets, removing Local Government NZ, plus party-affiliated councillors. All decisions should be made locally, democratically, and without bias based solely on what we as the Christchurch community decide on. I would like to see and I will strive to implement a renewed interest in local residents being actively involved in key aspects of decision-making, with the idea of keeping our rates efficiently low and building a strong community.
I made Christchurch my home 17 years ago when I moved from the UK with my kiwi husband to raise our 4 children. We have lived within the Linwood Ward for the duration. I'm a community focused person and I'm involved in a number of local community groups.
We deserve better and we can do better together.

My principal place of residence is in the Linwood Ward area.

I am an experienced Councillor from Woolston with a strong record of getting positive things done to improve the East.
Achievements this term include getting the Linwood Pool built, a lower Heathcote River guidance plan adopted, restoring Lancaster Park for recreation, and fighting hard to get rid of the offensive and objectionable odours from the Organics Processing Plant and the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
I'm supportive of: reducing flooding risk, keeping strategic assets in public ownership, improving maintenance of parks, footpaths, roads, cemeteries, and rivers. I firmly believe the priority should be fixing broken infrastructure in the suburbs ahead of gold-plating central city streets. I'm opposed to: the permanent chlorination/privatisation of water, excessive CEO salaries, and ugly urban development that ruins amenity and neighbourhoods.
I'm proud to stand up for social justice, environmental equity, and transparent decision-making that puts local people and communities at the heart of what gets done.

I am passionate about the East, it's my home and community, but the Council has given us a stink deal - we deserve better!
I live in Woolston with my family and we love the pool, parks, river, and libraries. I work for a community organisation in Wainoni combatting harm to young people from alcohol and drugs. I've also sat on a local school Board and worked in mental health. I chose to do this work because I want our communities to be places where we look out for one another and treat each other with respect.
My focus on the Board will be to work collaboratively, stop the stink, invest in green space, safer streets, a fair deal for the East, and speak up for those who need a strong advocate.
A vote for me is for someone who listens and has the experience and ability to get things done.

I have lived in Woolston for over thirty years and I'm proud to call it home. Recently, we have had some good wins for our community, including: a new swimming pool, the Woolston Village makeover, and lots of smaller projects that have been completed.
Council sometimes takes an extraordinary length of time to get even the smallest of things done. There is no excuse for the lack of resolution to the odour issues, nor the lack of progress in fixing our roads and footpaths over a decade on from the 2010/11 earthquakes - it is not good enough, and I will keep fighting for a fair deal for the East.
As a healthcare worker, I'm concerned about rising poverty and inequality. We need to do more to support those most in need in our community. I'm prepared to work hard for you to secure a better future for us all.
