My policies

Here's what I believe and will campaign for:

1. Efficient modern public transport

• Light rail is the future - first step from the railway station to the airport via the hospital
• Trolley buses are clean, smooth-riding and have no emissions. Let's retain them meantime.
• Cycling is increasingly popular. We need to make it safe, with separated lanes where possible. 
• Wellington is a walking city. Let's follow the example of successful European cities and create more pedestrianised and calmed streets.

2. A low-carbon economy

• Climate impact research should guide all Regional Council decisions.
• Reviewing land-use policies for their effect on climate, pollution and sustainability.
• Investigating regional opportunities for afforestation.

3.  A healthy environment

• Clean up our rivers, harbours and beaches. Make them suitable for swimming, fishing and food-gathering
• Cut out diesel and its harmful emissions
• Creation of new regional parks, including on the Miramar Peninsula.
