Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there.' I love Puketāpapa and have spent most of my life here. I attended local schools, taught at them, and have served two terms on the Local Board and as Manukau Harbour Forum Chair. We have faced some tough challenges but also had successes in transport, the environment, and parks. However, we need to do more to ensure that our local communities have access to a high quality of life. We should aim for more investment in parks and assets, better infrastructure, better transport choices, and to listen to the voices of our diverse community. We also need to be investing in the health of our waterways and the harbour. Serving the community of Puketāpapa has been my greatest privilege – with your support, I would love to continue. Please vote for me and the City Vision team.
