[The Rotorua Review asked for my response to two questions to be published in their editions on 3rd September and 17th September. Here they are, each in just 50 words!]Vision for Rotorua:
My future Rotorua - City of Cycles, attracting major companies adopting work-life balance, favourable house prices and proximity to all amenities. A rebirth of the inner city heated geothermally. Innovative crops like hops, tea and truffles; a science hub for forestry and freshwater. A sculpture trail attracting record visitor numbers.
The Number One Concern I am hearing from voters and my plan to address it:
Consultation: Different groups have
varied issues, but the same concern. Grey Power - debt; Cyclists - safe cycle
routes; Retailers - inner city vibrancy; Farmers - remaining economically
viable. All of these groups feel disconnected
from decision-making. Overhaul our consultation model. Major improvements
needed in listening and talking to you.
