Seeking your vote: for Waimairi Community Board
I am seeking re-election as your Community Board member of our Waimairi Ward. I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in our ward, and have done so for over 17 years.
Over the past weeks, I have walked the streets of our neighbourhood and met many of you. If I could not meet you, you would have found my election flyer near your front door (or in your letter-box), together with the flyers of my team-mates Sam MacDonald and Pereen Singh.
Having completed my first term, I can say I have certainly enjoyed the role and was able to make a positive contribution too. In particular, I immensely enjoyed the people-interaction aspect which this role entails, as well as being able to put rate-payers money to good use – for community groups as well as individuals; and for small and big projects which make the city a better place to live for everyone.
I promise working with the same passion, integrity, transparency and enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the past years, and to continue to make a positive difference in the lives of people around me.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
