Candidate For Coastal Community Board

Soozie from South New Brighton

Standing for Waitai - Coastal Community Board 2019

This is Me.
The Brighton Beaches have been my home for 50 years. First in North Beach and now in South Brighton, after a time spent in OZ, I returned to the place I love. My place and your place deserves to be loved and I am determined for it to get a lot more.

And like all residents here, I have a vision, a vision for the future, and I want to ensure the momentum started is continued without compromise.

I bring a stable presence, am socially active within our community, am and have been on the committee of local groups, and have been a part of every consultation session we have ever had with Council. To repair what has been damaged, to ensure sustainability as Coastal suburbs, to future proof our existence and our legacies, to see economic growth and success, to gain the wisdom for our needs in the future,…….all this can only be done with the support of the community – but I will be here to help us get there.

I want to concentrate on what is best for the future of our coastal suburbs and it’s business and residential inhabitants.

Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss anything that matters to you about your region and your city.

“Giggly girt! Giggly girt!”

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.

Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.

My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.

I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.

I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.

I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”
