We all did well, let's get on with it!
Congratulations Jan O'Connor, Ruth Jackson, Trish Deans, Aidan Bennett, Toni van Tonder and George Wood. Our Local Area needs a great team like you all to work together and represent our best interests. Ngā mihi.
Thank you also to the many supporters who have put shoulder to the Heart of the Shore wheel and turned out an excellent result.
Congratulations also to the other candidates who stood in the 2019 Local Board Elections for Devonport-Takapuna. Hopefully, as I've been privileged, you've also met many good friends, and learnt much about our communities along the way. Together we've all served the Local Area we love. Kia kaha.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
