Elections - please vote!
Just to clarify the situation: I am standing for both HDC and the Foxton Community Board as I want to continue working for the community. If I am fortunate enough to get sufficient support to gain a seat in Council [where my experience can make a greater difference], I will have to relinquish my seat on the Community Board. I cannot be elected to both.
However if elected to Council I will almost certainly be the HDC Representative on the Foxton Community Board. If you feel my continued input will benefit our community please put a tick alongside my name, John Girling, where you see it on the voting papers.
Thank you.
