Our residents continue to be let down by Devonport Takapuna Local Board, with tired thinking, poor value for money, neglected public spaces, and decisions driven by politics and ideology over the needs of the people who live in our community. After 10 years living on the Shore, I understand the issues facing our local area because I too see them everyday. I’m not a bureaucrat; I’m a mother, small business owner, and community advocate who knows how to juggle responsibilities and get things done with practical common sense solutions. By voting for me as your ACT Local candidate, you know what you are going to get. I will maintain and improve our facilities and public spaces, make smarter spending decisions that put ratepayers and residents first, and restore genuine transparency and accountability to the decision-making process. If you want common sense back on the board, please give me one of your votes.
