Hi,
I’m standing as a community independent with City Vision for the Waitemata Local Board.
City Vision represents the local Labour, Green and Alliance Parties and community independents who are progressive people keen to represent their communities but do not belong to any political party.
City Vision is putting forward a strong, experienced, community- focused team for the Waitemata Local Board:
- Christopher Dempsey – current Chair of the Albert- Eden Community Board
- Jesse Chalmers - young, Green, the new generation of local politics
- Bruce Kilminster – current Chair of the Western Bays Community Board
- Shale Chambers – local Ponsonby lawyer and company director
- Kate Stanton – current Community Board member for Western Bays
- Tricia Reade – a well-known Ponsonby resident through her work at the Ponsonby Community Centre
We will also be working with Mike Lee to ensure he becomes a Councillor on the new Auckland Council for the Waitemata & Gulf Ward.

Local government elections have traditionally failed to spark voter interest which has been reflected in the low voter turnout. Only 39.7% of eligible voters returned their postal ballots in the Auckland City Council elections in 2007 (down from 48.4% in 2004).
