Bayswater has been my family home for over 30 years. My wife and I raised our three children here and I’ve proudly given back to the community that’s given us much. I’ve spent 12 years on Takapuna Grammar Board and helped lead major school upgrades and coached North Shore Rugby for three decades to keep young people active. Professionally I bring 35 years of leadership in aged care, mental health and hospitality, also serving on local governance boards and charitable trusts. Standing for the Local Board because I care deeply about Devonport Takapuna area future. With tighter council budgets, we need experienced voices who can deliver practical cost-effective improvements. I will advocate for better footpaths, safer streets, upgraded stormwater systems accessible beaches, restored recycling services and stronger support for sports clubs. I am running to champion local priorities with commonsense and accountability. Vote Mike Single and all your C&R candidates.
