Ward: Puketapapa (Members)

As a local mother of two, and with a background in the education sector, I am a passionate advocate for women's and children's issues, particularly around quality early childhood education in our community.  I have lived in the Puketapapa area for seven years now and look forward to a great future raising my children here, as my grandmother raised hers. 

I believe in strong local democracy that gives a voice to local people.  We should be able to have a say on local issues, like the destructive spread of liquor outlets and pokies in our area.  We need a strong and active Board to ensure the opinions of Roskill residents are heard across our new City.

Let’s elect a Board of people committed to building a positive future for our families. Vote for our community: vote the whole ROSKILL COMMUNITY VOICE team for Puketapapa Board and CITY VISION for Council.

I am a long term Roskill South resident, a married father of two, and a professional negotiator. An active member of our community I serve as: President of Lynfield/Roskill-South Plunket, Roskill Union Health Board member, Manukau foreshore pest control volunteer, Residents Association Chairperson, Church Vestry member, and am a former Council Member of MIT.

Speaking up for Mt Roskill is important to me and I have actively campaigned against the wasteful demolition of Monte Cecilia School; in favour of greater community control of new liquor outlets; and for a fairer rates system. I strongly support public ownership of our community assets.

We need a Board with new blood and energy.  As a Board member I commit to listening to local residents and being a strong voice for the Mt Roskill community. Vote for our community: vote the whole ROSKILL COMMUNITY VOICE team for Puketapapa Board and CITY VISION for Council.
