Main for Mayor, Wanganui |
For a newly elected mayor and council, there will be a need to develop healthy and respectful working relationships, with each other, with staff and with the community
My top priority will be a new partnership for progress that will balance delivering high quality council services and investing in promoting the city in order to grow local businesses and attract new business investment.
But first, we need to make sure we get the basics right, which means making sure we are living within our means as a city and that the basic services we all take for granted, like good quality roads and footpaths, waste collection, sports fields and community facilities are maintained and improved.
As mayor I would make it a priority to ensure I understand the current state of our finances and work with council to get a manageable strategy in place to address affordability issues. This will not be an easy task but one I see as a major priority.
There are many groups in our community who are passionate about our city and we need to build on their strengths and their passion to bring people together and find the common ground vital to moving the city forward.
We need to also ensure our city is cleverly promoted as a world class destination both for visitors and for business investment so we can grow the local economy to deliver the lifestyle we want and the employment opportunities we need.
By bringing people together, getting the basics right and focusing on what really needs to get done to move us forward, this city will be unbeatable.
