Kyogle meet your candidates continued

corporates.

I have lived in different parts of the world and bring a perspective from all that I have experienced.

Thomas Cooper

I have lived at Bonalbo for 28 years.

This term of councillors has been very unusual as it has only been two years and 10 months. I have not seen a lot of what’s been pushed, come to fruition.

I would like to see the $50 million upgrade of the Clarence Valley Way fnished.

It’s most important to do as a team is to appoint a new general manager of high calibre who embraces change and new technology.

I am asking residents of Ward C to allow me to be part of the team as I want to see major projects completed.

Our future is heavily infuenced economically by Kyogle Shire Council and its $80 million budget which drives the local economy. We must ensure we buy local where a competitive rate prevails.

Too many shop fronts are empty so we need to cut the red tape and shorten development times.

I would like to see our villages, such as Mallanganee, Grevillea etc. with reticulated water and sewerage.

The referendum for popularly voted mayor, I will be asking the people in Ward C to vote ‘No’ as it brings party politics into local government.

This council does not belong to the mayor, the councillors, staff or general manager. It belongs to the residents of Kyogle Shire and you will prove this on 14th September when you exercise your democratic right to vote.
