I am standing for a second term on the ParaparaumuRaumati Community Board because I believe that my three years experience on the Board, my community contacts through several community organisations over
many years, makes me a suitable candidate for re-election.
I have been a ratepayer for over 32 years, and have family in the area.
I am particularly concerned to see that the effects of the MacKays to Peka Peka expressway construction are properly mitigated. I live in one of the areas particularly affected.
I have enjoyed meeting the many talented young people in our community, and it has been a privilege to help, in a small way, on their journey through life. I wish to continue to do so.
