For 61 years Manurewa has been my home, where for 44 years I have served as a Police Officer. I own a local gym and am a current Local Board member with extensive experience in policy and decision-making. I've successfully advocated for fairer funding that fosters the development of local businesses, youth, disabled people, elderly, our vulnerable community, sports clubs, enabling free sports fees for under 12's, environmental help, dedicated Animal Management officers, upgrading our parks and community assets, and the establishment of a community hub. I'm dedicated to continuing the work already started, ensuring safer neighbourhoods, town centres, public transport, weekly rubbish collections, and prompt responses for essential services, footpath, roading repairs, tagging, noise complaints, illegal parking. Having completed 113 marathons, I see things through. I've a deep appreciation for Manurewa and its diversity. Together we can thrive. Two Council votes Joseph Allan, Cunningham-Marino. Eight Local Board votes #LoveManurewa.
