Thankyou for your support! Kaipātiki Local Board results now available

John Gillon from

Wow! A huge thankyou to everyone who has given me their support! I have been re-elected to the Kaipātiki Local Board and the Shore Action team has been given a majority on the Board and a strong mandate.
A big congratulations to my Shore Action team mates Danielle Grant, Paula Gillon and Adrian Tyler who have been re-elected! And a warm welcome to Melanie Kenrick who will be a fantastic new board member!

Unfortunately the news is bitter-sweet as our team mate and great friend Anne-Elise Smithson hasn't made it back. This has been a huge shock to us and is a great loss for our team and the Local Board :(

Also congratulations to the other three members of the Local Board - Ann Hartley and newcomers Cindy Schmidt and Andrew Shaw who we are looking forward to getting to know better :)

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
