Candidate statement
I am a horticulturist specialising in environmental works with over 50 yrs experience. Working locally over the years has give me knowledge of parks and recreation area. I believe there is room for improvement. Due to the 1993 Local Govt Amendment Act, which led to the contracting out of council services we have sunk into a mire of duplicated middle management and over payed bureaucracies, being played by consultants and multi national contractors. My experience working for such firms in Franklin saw them cut corners in order to profit, overspec jobs (Traffic control), and when you combine the middle management number with the supervising council officers the ratio was around 1-3. Top heavy! Repeal the act and bring all work including Auckland Transport back into council ownership. Taking away the profit lost to overseas owned firms, putting 1/2 of supervision back on the tools, saving 25-40% of our rate take.
