Candidate statement
I have lived in the city for 25 years. I have worked as a Broadcaster Radio 2ZA, Newstalk ZB and Classic Hits. I have been a musician in several Bands & currently for Medlab at the Palms Commentator Robertson Prestige International Speedway (PN). I am standing for council because I want the city to progress and focus on the big four, Roads, Water, Rubbish & Sewerage. Stick to the basics and live within our means. I know many who are concerned about rate rises. The Council should be run like a household - with fiscal prudence and wise investment. If elected my focus will be on needs not wishes and every dollar would be studied before spending takes place. Fiscal prudence & common sense - that often appears not to be too common. I respectfully ask for your vote.
