UUPPER HUTT LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS- COUNCILLORS
I have been engaging with Mayor and Council since 2017 in relation to the changes made to our Library.
My opinions are based on actual, factual, events and personal experiences, all of which are documented and were explained at length in my posts on Neighbourly/Facebook or
www.publiclibrarytrends.blogspot.co.nz... from Feb 2017 and if read should answer any questions as to why I feel the way I do.
COUNCILLORS
I first contacted each of my/our elected representatives by email on the 24/4/17 the last time 1/8/17
I will not contact them on this issue again, I am now going to research all my lawful options on how to redress this situation and hold to account, those Councillors who are standing for re election, in light of their failure and repeated refusal to keep faith with their oaths to engage with us or willingly represent us, which is what ratepayers elect them for and pay them to do!
Another tactic has been to deny us a Review of the Library. Why? What is being hidden? What are they afriad of if they acting in good faith? Where is accountability for how and what they spend our money on? On how they justify their pay?
Councillors who are ignoring me/us or negating and ratepayers concerns regarding the Library are, Chris Carson, John Gwilliam, Glenn McArthur, Paul Lambert, Dave Wheeler and Blair Griffiths.
Despite the fact they have sworn to engage with ratepayers, to represent ratepayers and to facilitate the democratic process by helping ratepayers access their Council by assisting ratepayers navigate the process to present their concerns to Council. Whether they agree with the ratepayers concerns or not, whether they like the ratepayer or not.
Do you want to elect and pay people to represent your interests when they feel they can ignore you and refuse to do their sworn duty? They are in dereliction of their duty!!
If they can do it to me/us they can and will do it to you!
They fail themselves when they are misleading, dishonest, redirect us or think because a non-elected Council person is dealing with us, that they needn’t bother.
