Standing for Council 2022
New Plymouth is a great place to live and we are the beneficiaries of a wonderful legacy.
These must be protected and increased for the future.
I am standing for election in the Kaitake-Ngāmotu General Ward for the New Plymouth District Council and bring to the table qualifications, experience, understanding and commitment.
Alongside Degrees in Management and Business I also bring work experience and knowledge gained in a variety of occupations as a soldier, chef, minister, business owner, and executive director.
These have developed in me a disciplined approach to people and situations, an understanding of organisations, and the importance of outcomes while managing change. In all of these relationships teamwork is critical.
I believe and support that democracy must be local.
If democracy is not experienced as a reality by people like ourselves it is democracy in name only. The more decisions that are made locally the better as too much is being decided and driven at an ever-increasing pace by Central Government. Local individuals and communities are increasingly disempowered and marginalised.
I do look forward to meeting you. To this end I am going to make myself available at specific locations and times. These are shared on my Facebook Page - Kevyn J. Harris for NPDC.
Recommendations please - Heatpump Repair
Hi,
Looking for someone reasonable to provide a quote to fix a Panasonic heat pump that a) leaks a little when on cool mode and b) doesn’t heat.
Appreciate all your recommendations
Thanks.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
