Sure, they'll all claim to be working for the community and acting in the best interests of the district but who's actually checking that, in the case of those re-standing, they're true to their word?
Well I've been keeping a very close eye on the actions of the SWDC and the individual councilors over the past decade or so and I will be publishing some extra information on who's performed as they promised and who hasn't.
Here's one thing voters should be aware of. Back in 2017 the SWDC promised to consult with the community before doing anything about the airfield tower at Tokoroa Airfield. Five short years later they demolished it without any consultation. So much for promises made to the community!
I've been told it cost ratepayers over $7,000 to have the tower demolished and it happened just weeks before a contingent of FORTY people went down to Wellington (on the ratepayer's ticket -- probably costing around $40,000) to beg central government for some cash. The Mayor claims we're an economically deprived region -- yet she and her council chose to refuse the offer made by members of the community to fully restore the airfield tower at no expense to ratepayers and instead demolish this globally recognised landmark. This move was made despite thousands of people from around the world showing their support (both morally and financially) on social media.
Just watch this video to see the level of support that the world showed to protect the Tokoroa Airfield Tower. The council spat in the face of these fine people and destroyed the tower that many of those people had put on their bucket-list to visit. Every year hundreds of people have come from around the world to visit the tower and get selfies but the council chose to destroy that tourist attraction. Yet they claim they want to attract visitors... more false promises. Sad, very sad.

Momentum Waikato is pitching to potential funders – including Waikato Regional Council – and says the homes would both help families and support economic growth.
“We think we can start with $30 million,” said Kelvyn Eglinton, the chief executive of Hamilton-based Momentum Waikato.
Affordable housing sits in between “social housing” – for the likes of the homeless and those needing emergency accommodation – and market-supplied housing.
Eglinton’s comments in an interview Friday were made the day after Momentum’s presentation to Waikato Regional Council, seeking a $10 million contribution to a proposed Community Impact Fund for affordable housing development.
