I'm pleased to have been a Kaiapoi councillor on a council which held rate rises close to inflation over the past three years. 

This was my key 2007 election pledge and the new council delivered. 

Waimakariri's 10−year plan holds rates to inflation over the next decade so Kaiapoi and the district will have one of the lowest rate increases in New Zealand. 

The hard−fought council services review is now delivering savings. Less spent on consultants. More work in−house. More savings to come. 

I'm chuffed to have led the debate to bring building services in−house. 

Now we have cheaper hourly rates and less staff delivering a better service. 

Kaiapoi is a fabulous place with big challenges in attracting business and jobs. I'm keen to be on a council which delivers on the new town centre revitalisation plan. 

It's been a privilege to represent you. 

I ask again for your vote.
