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.

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.

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