Independent
My principal place of residence is in the Banks Peninsula Ward area. I am also standing for Mount Herbert Community Subdivision of the Banks Peninsula Community Board.
Stop the continual rates raises.
Stop the closed door meetings. We need an open council with all deals made public.
The continued growth of previous council spending needs to stop. The rate payer is not a bank. Council needs to concentrate spending on the needs of the city not the nice to have luxury spending currently going on.
I have lived on the peninsula for about 5 years while running a business in Christchurch.
Our unique communities and environment around banks peninsula can be misunderstood by many of the city councillors.
As an independent in council I can present fresh eyes to our issues while stopping stupid secret spending deals.
All my life I have been self employed having to rely on myself for problem solving on a limited budget.
To get change you need to post in your vote. If you don't, nothing will change.
