A strong community voice

I am standing with the City Vision team for the Albert-Eden Local Board, Owairaka subdivision

I have been part of this community for thirty years – as a student, as a parent and throughout my professional years.   Now I look forward to giving back. 

As a Sandringham resident I enjoy my local village, and walk often on Owairaka Mt Albert.  My focus is on the concerns of the different ethnic populations in our area, and better care for our volcanic cones, parks, and lovely older buildings.

Water must stay in public ownership, and amenities like transport, museums and libraries must be supported and strengthened.

I am a determined advocate for the causes I believe in and have successfully implemented major system changes as an information manager over the years.

I work well collaboratively, and I believe strongly in community and locality.

The new Auckland can work for community – reclaim the city for its people by voting for me and the whole CITY VISION team this election.

I support and will work for the implementation of the City Vision Policies and Principles - see our website: www.cityvision.org.nz
