Auckland City Council Local Body Elections

Wayne from New Lynn

My name is Wayne Davis, and currently running for a position on the Whau Local Board, and the Portage Licensing Trust, Zone 2.
Many may know, of my Community work, plus 9 years on the previous Waitakere City Council Community Board.
My current community work, is being Chairman of Keep West Auckland Beautiful, a branch of Keep New Zealand Beautiful.
Chairman of the Waitakere Asian Support Group.
A community group, started in 2008, as a result of the crime around the New Lynn bus centre, prior to the Transport hub being built.
The group, first formed consisted of New Lynn Police, with Sgt. Grant Watson, Michael Alofa from Safe Waitakere, a unit of Waitakere City Council, and Neighbourhood Support.
Have had several community BBQ's with Neighbourhood Support Waitakere, New Lynn Police, Auckland Council through Safe Waitakere.
And not the last, to want to have a car park pothole repaired, which was unnoticed by current Members.
Many have lost the connection, that residents had between their Elected members and Ratepayers and residents.
Council needs to be accountable, and there are MANY issues to bring forward.
MY door is always open, and will be the INDEPENDENT voice for you.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
