<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central<br />
Ward - district<br />
councillor<br />
I live in Rolleston<br />
with my husband<br />
and our three children.<br />
I have an engineering and<br />
planning background and I’d love<br />
to bring my experience to the<br />
council table. I had involvement<br />
with getting the Rolleston Drive<br />
school crossing operating. I have<br />
also been actively advocating on<br />
behalf of the Rolleston Residents<br />
Association, as chairperson, for<br />
safer pedestrian and cycle networks.<br />
Our district is growing<br />
fast but developments need to be<br />
future-proofed, and suitable for<br />
all ages and abilities. We need to<br />
engage our whole community so<br />
they feel involved to contribute<br />
ideas towards making <strong>Selwyn</strong> a<br />
great place to live.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central<br />
Ward - district<br />
councillor<br />
During the past six<br />
years on council I<br />
have been a strong<br />
advocate for community values.<br />
This has included passionate<br />
pleading for very careful use<br />
of our precious fresh water,<br />
consistent support for safety<br />
improvements of our driving<br />
environment, wholehearted<br />
promotion of public art and a<br />
caring approach to the whole of<br />
the environment. From this sort<br />
of foundation, I will advance<br />
these causes and any other which<br />
will make <strong>Selwyn</strong> an even better<br />
place to live. A strong sense of<br />
natural justice and an intuitive<br />
grasp of the meaning of fairness<br />
and democracy make me the<br />
ideal candidate for re-election.<br />

Standing with<br />
a vision of an<br />
Independent <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
I do not want us to simply<br />
become a housing estate for<br />
Christchurch. I will be available<br />
and attentive, listening to<br />
your views and making evidence<br />
based decisions. I have a history<br />
of community service, youthful<br />
energy and common sense. We<br />
love it here and I will work to see<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> stay a safe, prosperous,<br />
supportive and friendly place<br />
to reside. My background is in<br />
health management and governance.<br />
A vote for me will bring<br />
a fresh voice with sensible ideas.<br />

first home in the Malvern community.<br />
Since moving to <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
to study at Lincoln University<br />
in <strong>20</strong>09 I am delighted to have<br />
made this area home. Through<br />
active involvement in community<br />
organisations and work in<br />
resource management consultancy,<br />
I have an understanding<br />
of the challenges and opportunities<br />
rural services and councillors<br />
covering large geographical<br />
areas face.<br />
I am excited by the prospect<br />
of serving the Malvern community<br />
to assist in enabling and<br />
enhancing the community spirit<br />
and ensuring the Malvern voice<br />
is heard.<br />

Jeff Bland:<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central<br />
Ward - district<br />
councillor<br />
For 19 years, I have<br />
lived in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Central Ward with<br />
my wife Julie and family. Three<br />
years ago I retired from the<br />
police. The last four years of<br />
my 38 year career were based<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. I have served on the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central Community<br />
board and many local community<br />
groups. It is my privilege<br />
to have served this community<br />
as your ward councillor for the<br />
last six years. I again ask for<br />
your vote so that I can continue<br />
to provide an honest, open and<br />
common sense approach to<br />
resolve the issues and challenges<br />
that face <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Ward - district<br />
councillor<br />
My vision for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
is a place that we<br />
will continue to be<br />
proud of. A caring, safe, community<br />
with a range of housing<br />
choices for a wide range of ages<br />
and family types, with a range of<br />
facilities, indoor and outdoor, for<br />
active and passive activities that<br />
are accessible for all, young and<br />
old, able and not so able, useable<br />
by all. As one of your councillors,<br />
I will use my experience, my<br />
knowledge, to work with you and<br />
your community to achieve this<br />
vision. We are on this journey<br />
together. I need your support<br />
and your vote.<br />
