Standing For: Hastings District Council
Hastings / Havelock North Ward

Voter Guide Profile: I want a Better Deal for Rate Payers and be their voice. The need for greater debate around all issues that affect rates is imperative. I’m an outside the square person, who questions the norm. Councils prime purpose that drives rates need addressing to ensure rate payer needs are achieved through prudent fiscal budgeting. Costs drive rates and it’s time to cut out the nice to have and build on preventive measures to reduce future costs.

One of my strong points around the table is that I’m a solutions man for getting results and having an eye for detail, questioning why until satisfied the result will achieve its outcome.

I process substantial knowledge, experience in Board Governance, Law, and Financial Management and have worked both in public and private organisations.

Integrity, accountability is high on my agenda if I were to become a Councillor. My ability is my availability.
