Think you’ve got a couple of errors here - Michael Goudie got 8538 votes - not 88538 votes; Cameron Brewer won in Orakei, not Otaki, and it’s Manukau not Manuau.
Still ,thanks for getting this information out on Twitter so quickly.
I hope Mark Donnelly continues to contribute on here as he has some great views.
Too bad Waitemata’s a single-councillor ward - I like Swny even though I preferred Lee.
@Thanks Adrian. The Excel spreadsheet I was given of results was quite daunting!
I think deputy mayor will be Penny Hulse, Mike Lee or Christine Fletche.
Thanks Matt - the interest in issues doesn’t go away - even if I do!
so I’m sure I’ll be making comments - just can’t implement anything!
I want to see (and help) a really good Rail station based rejuvenation of Mt Albert. It would have been a great example of what rail can do for an area - much as I suspect Onehunga will.
It will be tricky, and needs a very good commerical focus and understanding. But the process has started. Cathy Casey has a passion for Mt Albert - so I’m sure we’ll see it continue.
