The grades are helpful to compare different candidates within a council, but they suggest that we download the original answers and read them for ourselves to be fully informed.
Here is the scorecard for WDC candidates, and the original answers (in Excel spreadsheet format) can be found here.
Together with Policy Local and The Voting Climate we now have three online sources to learn about candidates' policies and views. Unfortunately not every candidate is present on each platform, so the picture is somewhat incomplete.

Depending on how old you are, you might remember taking a bottle to the shop and being able to get a small refund for it. Doing this has been proven to increase recycling rates, reduce litter and make sure our resources are used again and again.
If implemented, this scheme will be a significant step towards a circular economy.
Watch the announcement on Facebook and read about the scheme on the Beehive website.

Whangarei will get a new 130-berth marina, including a more than 4500 square metre reclamation.
It's said that "it would provide significant positive effects, not only for Whangarei but also the wider Northland region". What are your thoughts on this?

Hi neighbours - what'd you think of the All Blacks vs. South Africa game on Saturday night?
Some All Blacks supporters have expressed disgust that Springboks fans sang loudly during the All Blacks' first haka at the World Cup, even though this isn't uncommon. What are your thoughts?

We've hand picked five fabulous locations to showcase a variety of homes, reflecting local design flare and style. The tours are self-driven, and give attendees the opportunity to take in the best scenery the region has to offer, try some quirky cafes or eateries along the way, and also visit our Hub; a one stop shop for all your house tour information and where they can meet the editorial team behind their much-loved magazine.

Curriculum changes would reset a national framework so that all learners and ākonga were aware of key aspects of New Zealand history and how they had influenced and shaped the nation.
What do you think? Should New Zealand history be taught in all schools, or are there other, more important subjects to teach?

Many millions of dollars of investment capital have been lost to other districts because the District Council is difficult to deal with. That means lost jobs and lost income for local families.
That's why we are supporting candidates who commit to changing the Council's culture to one that asks, "How can we make it happen?" instead of standing in the way.
