An increasing number of people are asking me daily now. Emails, texts, whenever shopping – they have all wanted my opinion so here it is.

Having spent 18 years as a Councillor I know all of these people personally and have respect for their various skills and experience, despite many having opposing opinions.

In my opinion Useful Councillors for our next 2025-2028 Dunedin City Council include: Vandervis, Lucas, Radich, Weatherall, Barker, Acklin, Whiley, Lund, Hamlin, Galer, Simms, Chambers, Todd, and Macfarlane.

Under the Dunedin STV computer voting system, please only mark candidates you really want and leave the rest blank.

No useful Councillors for Otago Regional Council – hopefully ORC will soon be disestablished or “dismembered’ as MP Shane Jones has called for.
