Nigel Elder

Standing for:

Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai/Lower Hutt General Constituency

Affiliation:

ACT Local: Real Change. Lower Rates.

Principal place of residence:

My principal place of residence is in the Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai/Lower Hutt General Constituency area.

Ratepayers continue to be let down by Greater Wellington Regional Council with higher rates, more bureaucracy and red tape, and more political grandstanding over practical solutions. It’s time to give Council a wake up call and focus on the issues that matter in Lower Hutt. As a long-time Lower Hutt resident, local business owner, and years working in agriculture, I know how difficult it is to get things done around Wellington. My time in the New Zealand Defence Force means I understand leadership, discipline, and getting the job done.

By voting for me as an ACT candidate you know exactly what you’re going to get: I will focus on reducing rates increases, eliminating council bureaucracy, removing needless red tape, and prioritising essential services, like cost-effective transport upgrades and flood protection.

If you want to see common sense back around the council table, please give me your first preference vote.
