Thank you to everyone who has already voted..
Tomorrow is the last day to post in your votes...after that you can vote by popping your voting papers into the Council service centres in Kaiapoi and Rangiora etc
We live in an awesome district which is under pressure to deliver services to a growing population. Clean water, well maintained reserves, maintaining roads and footpaths, rubbish collection etc
Rates are set to increase by 4.3% over the next 10 years...meaning if you are paying $3500 this year in 2029 you will be paying over $5000.. is this affordable.
We need staff to be more accountable for spending... in the last 3 financial years Council departments have been over budget by $32.8 million.
We need a district that is vibrant and well promoted to encourage businesses to grow and flourish and employ more locals.
Vote for change with me "Community Comes First"

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
