- Robustly managing Council expenditure to ensure justifiable rate increases in line with inflationary pressures. It is naïve to expect our rates not to increase (GST will rise from 1 October 2010), but to manage these should be Councils’ top priority.
- Working with all Community agencies and ratepayers to prevent on-going vandalism, tagging and graffiti within the entire Upper Hutt environs. There is a constant defacing of our township and environs by tagging and graffiti writers. We need to be more vigilant in apprehending the offenders and requiring them to not only clean up their filth, but also be named and shamed
- Volunteer stipendiary Custodians of our parks and reserves to ensure our recreational facilities remain Family Friendly and safe. The use of these Custodians would ensure that these facilities are maintained to provide clean, inviting and friendly environments, less likely to provide illegal and bad behaviours.
- Encouraging our youth to be positive, productive, contributing, members of our Upper Hutt Community. Council should be positively promoting employment development within our Council boundaries and explore ways to work in positive partnerships to not only create work opportunities but also enhance recreational facilities that will keep our families entertained and safe.
- Upper Hutt residents contributes a great deal of waste, some of which could and should be recycled. Like recycling programmes encouraged within NZ and internationally, in addition to kerb side pickups, Council should proactively provide opportunities to encourage drop off facilities and ventures to utilise reuse of recyclable materials.
