For too long, Christchurch residents have been victim to ineffective representation. I am an independent candidate and I would like to restore the public’s faith in the Council by keeping other councillors honest. We all want A Better City, and for that we need a Council that listens to community concerns and acts on them.

I believe in:
Sympathetic and sustainable development, protection of our parks and waterways, better consultation, better vision and better representation.

I oppose the $100 million budget for the council building. I will vote against unnecessary rate rises, as I believe that everyone needs to live within their budget, including the City Council.

I have been involved in community events for a number of years, and it is this commitment that has driven me to seek election. Please vote for “A Better City”. Contact me on 382 6334 or mpuentener@gmail.com
