Howick elections
This is an open letter to the various candidates standing in the Howick by-election. I am using Neighbourly in the hope I can make contact this way. We see your posters around the parish but very few of us have any ideas what you stand for. We would like to understand your motivations and areas where you think you can make a difference. In particular I would like your views on the following to help us decide who to vote for:
1). Auckland fuel tax
2). The non-business and water quality targeted rate that without consultation has been rushed through and slapped upon many local properties who are 'off the grid' with regards water and sewerage. My comment here is that we pay for the upkeep and servicing of our own water and sewerage systems. In charging us for a non-business and water quality targeted rate I am assuming we get something for our money?
3) The poor state and safety issues with many of our rural roads brought about in part by heavy traffic due to development.
4). Mayor Goff's non consultative authoritarian government style. Are you prepared to fight for constitutional accountability and on what points?
Looking forwards to your comments on Neighbourly

Show us your winter craft or DIY projects
When we are stuck inside, it can be a time to get creative. And we think Neighbourly members are quite a creative bunch. So, let's fill the Neighbourly newsfeed with crafty creations from across the country.
