Within reason I support the Council to make the right decisions when it comes to investing in our community so it can be safe, healthy, resilient and thrive. I am interested in leaving a positive legacy for Nelson and understand that this will need me to invest. I don't have the knowledge or experience to dictate what activity is required to meet these goals and trust council staff and elected members to make the right decisions on my behalf.
