I'm Luke Collings, a lifelong Howick resident with strong ties through local schooling and deep connections within the community. This is our home, and I am committed to fostering the prosperity and resilience of our region. I believe local government must adopt forward-thinking, technology-driven strategies to improve transport infrastructure, increase efficiency, and make services more accessible. With my father, David Collings, having served over 27 years in local government, I have gained a deep appreciation for the vital role local boards plays in shaping our community's future. I strongly support returning decision-making powers from Auckland Transport back to elected representatives, ensuring our community's voice guides key transport and infrastructure projects. I bring a fresh, innovative perspective while respecting our diverse cultural and traditional values. My main focus is delivering practical solutions on Rates, Roads, and Rubbish. I would be honored to have your support. Vote for Luke Collings and C&R.
