Tony Randle
Official Candidate Biography
Johnsonville has been my home for over 30 years, so I know the northern suburbs need strong representation. As your councillor, I have worked hard for all residents to get Council to make better decisions and I want to continue working for you.
I saved car parks at risk from the Johnsonville cycleway and stopped making all our roads 30Kmph. I ensured a new Johnsonville bus hub was included in Greater Wellington’s plan, and I helped many people with council issues.
I worked with colleagues so Tawa’s Grenada North Sports Ground upgrade continues, to stop the installation of parking meters in Tawa, Newlands and Johnsonville, killed the Reading Cinema deal, and blocked selling the airport shares to ensure the proceeds weren't spent increasing the city’s debt.
I’ll keep advocating for a council focused on affordable services, better infrastructure, transport and community facilities and minimum rate increases.
Please rank me #1.
