What are your ideas for Tauranga City Council?

Sheldon from Matua

This week I started my campaign for election onto Tauranga City Council.

I’m asking people what their ideas are for Tauranga city, and got this message from a friend of mine, Dr Ian McLean (pictured).

He lived in Tauranga for a long time (and spoke at my second TEDxTauranga events in 2014). Ian has recently moved to the Netherlands which is famous for it’s commuter cycling. I found what he had to say about the environment and cycling fascinating.

What do you think the issues are for Tauranga? What do you think needs to be done? What does Tauranga City Council do well? What could they do better?

Let me know via email sheldon@iamlistening.co.nz or give me a call: 021 128 5046.

Candidate for Tauranga City Council 2019

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
