If Elected as Mayor.

If elected as Mayor I promise I will endeavor to give the district a clear identity where people experience a sense of belonging and pride with a high quality health and education facilities and services accessible to all. Affordable high quality core services and facilities. Local jobs and training for local people. Sustainable development. Comprehensive social, recreational and cultural facilities accessible to all. Clean air, water and land. A built environment that is attractive, safe and healthy. A diverse natural environment that is accessible to all. I will also promote Stratford's potential as the leading rural trading centre attractive to residents, business and visitors alike. I believe I have what it takes to put forward Stratford's growth and priorities for the future. By giving back Stratford its true rural identity as the capital of Taranaki agriculture as well as the gateway to the regions National parks and beauty spots. I believe I can lead Stratford to be the best rural central trading town to live work and play in the region. The central rural hub of Taranaki.
