Kia Ora, please support my re-election to the Kaipātiki Local Board. I love working for our community. I have strongly supported our hardworking environmental, sport and community groups; successfully advocated to get our own local compliance officers to help improve public safety; secured Kauri Kids; supported enhancements to our leisure services, including free swimming at Birkenhead Leisure for over 65s; supported track and playground upgrades. There is more that I want to achieve: continue working to improve maintenance of our public spaces and our environment; oppose congestion charging without improved public transportation; continue to work for families and young people; improve public safety, community development and continue to advocate against increased council costs. I have a MPhil Public Policy, in local government and active recreation. I grew up in Kaipātiki and live in Beach Haven with my husband and two boys.
