I ask for your vote to serve you as your representative on the Howick Local Board. I will use my 16 years experience as a past city councillor for Howick, and as Member of Parliament for Botany, to work on your behalf, deliver local services, reduce non-essential costs, and find more efficient ways for Council to operate. Flat Bush is growing fast and needs more community facilities, and you deserve to receive more value for your rates. We urgently need a library and aquatic centre in Flat Bush. East Auckland requires a rapid transport connection between Botany and Flat Bush, through to Manukau and the airport. Young families in this expanding community need investment in parks, playgrounds and quality open spaces. My experience means I understand council and government processes. I know how to achieve results for you and get things done. Please vote Jami-Lee Ross for Howick Local Board.
