I have been a Councillor for the last three terms and I am seeking the opportunity of re- election to represent the Southern Ward for the next three years.

It is essential as a district that we keep improving our infrastructure; roads, parks, pipes (water and sewage). How do we achieve this? With such a small rate base, a challenged economy, and an ever increasing cost structure – the options are limited.

Over the last nine years sixty pieces of new legislation have been enacted by Central Government that have adversely impacted on local authorities All these issues combined need careful consideration as they impact heavily on an already overtaxed ratepayer.

I believe Tararua is a superb district to live and work; I am approachable, accessible and wholly committed to the Southern Ward and will advocate on your behalf any issues you consider to be of concern around the Council table.
