Time and again, Papakura local board has let residents down with neglected public facilities, wasteful spending on handouts and nice to haves, and decisions driven by ideology instead of practical solutions. It’s time for a shake up. As a long time Papakura local, a business owner, and someone who has supported community charities for over a decade, I understand the issues our neighbourhoods face because I see them every day. With more than 15 years of leadership experience in sales and management, I bring the practical, solutions focused approach needed to ensure Papakura’s voice is heard and respected. By voting for me as an ACT Local candidate, you know what you’ll get: I will support real investment where it’s needed, improve transparency and accountability and advocate to reduce congestion and improve accessibility in our town centres. If you want common sense back on the board, please give me one of your votes.
