Vote Brady for Hutt City Council (City-Wide)
Having spent the last three years representing a smaller part of our city on the Petone Community board, I'm now ready for a seat at the big kid's table. My first priorities are implementing a 2x wheelie-bin recycling system, and investigating cost savings through council rubbish bins & organic/composting bins too. Getting the basics right, the nice new facilities are nice to have, but we need to ensure the core council services aren't neglected.
In this years election, you will get to select SIX city-wide candidates (as well as one ward councillor). By putting your trust in me, you will be supporting a candidate with strong family values, an eye for thinking outside of the box, and using technology to make the council more effective.
I would be very grateful for your support to make Lower Hutt an even better place to live, work and play for everyone.
Please feel free to ask me any questions :) I will also be doing a weekly Q&A for the next two weeks of the elections (and at least once a month if I am elected, keeping you in the loop with what the council is up to)
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
