Introducing Shore Action candidate Anne-Elise Smithson!

Introducing Shore Action candidate and current member of the Kaipātiki Local Board, Anne-Elise Smithson!

"Kia ora tātou. My focus on your Board has been driving greater protection of our natural environment. Kaipātiki is now leading the way for Auckland Council.
I’m passionate about making Kaipātiki an even better place to live, work and play. I’m for vibrant town centres that reflect our heritage and our diversity, the development of a new coastal walkway to provide unparalleled access to our coastline, enhanced parks and pest-free reserves, and supporting local businesses.
I believe it is the small things that count – whether that’s shade sails over our playgrounds to protect our children from the sun or listening to you and taking action locally.
I'm for involving people in the decisions that affect them most so that Auckland takes local knowledge into account."

Shore Action is standing 6 strong members for the Kaipātiki Local Board and we'll be profiling them here over the next week. Stay tuned to meet the rest of our team.
