Ray Bowden

Candidate for Wharangi/Onslow-Western General Ward • Wellington City Council
Affiliation ACT Local
Official Candidate Statement

Ending the war on cars by putting an end to ineffective judder bars, multiple obstacles, and cycleways that only slow down commuters, increase traffic, and inhibit emergency response vehicles. I also support central government funded roading infrastructure to the airport & hospital.

Having lived all my life in Wellington, I understand the issues community face and by voting for me as an ACT Local candidate, you know what you are going to get: I will keep rates low, stop wasteful spending on vanity projects and anti-car policies like the Golden Mile, and deliver basics like our roads and pipes well.

Ratepayers have repeatedly been let down by WCC with endless large rates hikes, neglected public services, and wasteful spending on nice-to-haves and ideologically-driven pet projects. If you want to see an end to that, and see common sense back around the council table, please give me your 1st preference vote.
