Ratepayers disagree on many things but most agree Whangarei needs positive leadership.

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.

To see which candidates have committed to positive change visit Better! Whangarei
