Want a region that's easier to get around and more sustainable
I'm passionate about our region and after 30+years of taking action in the community that has made a positive difference I am standing for GWRC because we need change. Change in people at GWRC and change in priorities if we are to have a truly liveable region for everyone with a low carbon future – that places equal value on the environment and economic well being.
My key priorities;
Tackle Climate change – by reducing our emissions and restoration of ecosystems
A region that is easier to get around for everyone – to do this we need to reduce congestion - more roads isn't the answer.
A single transport agency for the region managing infrastructure and modes of public transport modes that prioritises active and public transport
Discounts on public transport for Community Services card holders
Fully integrated ticketing
Greater integration of urban planning with transport infrastructure
Improved water quality in the region
Reduction in waste and pollution – with region wide organic recycling
Greater financial support for our regional parks to improve recreational opportunities, tourism potential and protection of the environment.
Better value for rates priortising key responsibilities.
To address these issues we need all councils working together a lot better. Feedback welcome! www.facebook.com...
