Grey Lynn resident 35yrs (previously Parnell) I will listen to you. Voting issue by issue based on merit; I'll champion safer roads for kids, with traffic-lights for school crossings; I'll promote improved traffic flow, with simple solutions that work, from my 30yrs design experience; I'll challenge unnecessary 'inline' bus stops, speed bumps, lost parking and artificially narrowed arterial roads. Because congestion has a real financial cost to you; I'll cut unnecessary projects designed only to benefit contractors and consultants, funded by your rates; I'll work to protect our parks, mature trees, clean waterways, recognising a healthy environment provides social and economic return; I'll support Speedway and concerts at Western Springs; I'll use my deep insight into Council systems to get results; My campaigning for transparency has already contributed to opening once-secret Council workshops to the public, and bringing out-of-control CCO's under council oversight. I'm here to serve you, not party-lines.
