Board

New Lynn Community Board candidates (1
vacancy)
John Capener - Independent
|
As a 36 year resident of West Auckland I bring a lot of
experience as to the needs of New Lynn’s infrastructure.
As a past President of the Lynndale Athletic Club, I have had to deal
with all the problems of fundraising so I’m in a position to empathise
with any sport or service clubs problems.
As an Independent candidate I will not be bound by anyone else’s agenda. |
Wayne R Davis
- Shadbolt Independents
 |
I
am a New Lynn resident, married to Isabella with 2 boys. My
mother was a Margan, and I live in Margan Ave, so I have close family
ties to the area and the New Lynn Ward. I served 6yrs as a
Community Board Member of Waitakere City, have been a Keep Waitakere
Beautiful Trustee for 3yrs, and served on the Hillary Commission Sports
& Community Funding Allocation Committee for 4yrs.
I am very concerned about graffiti and on-going crime in the New Lynn
Ward. Zero Tolerance is a MUST.
I will fight for better footpaths, parks for everyone to enjoy, improved
pensioner housing, better roading and transport systems.
I strongly believe in an open and accountable Council, with affordable
rates for all.
I served the City well in the past and will continue to work for YOU in
the future.
Your vote for me, is a vote for you.

Ray Kerneghan - Independent
|
Resident
of Glen Eden for 33 years I want to continue to be involved in my
community. I brought my children up here and I look forward to
recreating a safe society for my grandchildren. I already represent you
on the executive of The Glen Eden Community Protection Society, Glen
Eden Community House and The Friends of Waikumete. I want to mend the
fragmentation that has occurred in our communities since amalgamation
into Waitakere. I want to see even footpaths, good lighting, modern
housing for pensioners. In my third age, I have renewed energy to serve
you in our community. As a Registered Electrical Inspector I have
experience of working with people, explaining things, and understanding
opposing points of view. My commitment to Glen Eden has led me to put
myself forward for election. I share your desire to enhance the
viability and health of our community. It's Our Future! |
Rebecca Robertson - Local Focus
|
|
I
am passionate about this city and issues regarding our youth, our
elderly, the environment, public transport,
safety, animal welfare and the future of Waitakere City.
I have lived in West Auckland for 30 years and have enjoyed being active
in politics and the community with my
family from a very young age. I am now 38 and live in Titirangi with my
husband and daughter.
My previous experience includes working in large organisations in NZ and
the USA and I enjoy working on
fundraising and other projects at our local school.
In the past I have enjoyed working with the New Lynn Community Board as
an advocate for the community on safer
roading issues and would love to be part of the team and be more
involved with the issues facing all of us right now.
