Campaign Statement
GURU THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE
A senior journalist and investigative reporter for the Kāpiti Observer and more recently Kāpiti News and BeachFM Radio, K Gurunathan has a reputation of being an uncompromising community watchdog.
“For 15 years I have provided the people of Kāpiti with in-depth reports and revealing analysis on council politics, community, environmental and development issues. I know how council works and its impact on people.”
RATES MUST BE KEPT DOWN. Trim the community and council’s wish list. The recession is hurting families and businesses.
Sandhills Expressway must serve local business and communities. NZTA should pay the full cost of mitigation including a local bridge to connect Paraparaumu and Waikanae.
End closed-door council/iwi meetings. All ratepayer investment into iwi projects must be transparent and accountable.
Resource Neighbourhood Support Groups. Senior citizens need better security.
Promote Saturday markets, like the excellent Paraparaumu Beach Market, as multi-purpose community assets.
Vote Guru the people’s voice in Council.
