When I read articles from Manu Caddie, I breathe a sigh of relief he is no longer on the council. I listened to Meng Foon’s submission to the council: the only comment he raised was having some tarseal done outside his property. 

I believe there are still many on our council who are completely out of touch or do not care about the 30% rate increase over the next three years and our increasing debt burden. Tony Robinson even stated changes to Grey St were just the start. 

We need to make sure that, come the next GDC elections, we have people who will represent our community’s best interest because we sure have not got them on our council at present!
