As a local public servant and father, I've spent my career solving problems to keep our communities safe. That's why I'm standing with the Trusts Action Group. We want a community where families thrive, which starts by demanding more from our Licensing Trusts. The overdependence on gambling and their monopoly has come at the cost of the welcoming pubs and eateries our community deserves. This outdated approach stifles our local economy and denies our community the funding it deserves. With the Trusts Action Group, our mission is simple: put the community first. We will achieve this by doubling community funding, demanding full transparency, increasing hospitality options, and cutting inefficient bureaucracy by seeking the amalgamation of the two trusts. It's time for better results. I'm asking for your vote to help us build a better West Auckland.
