By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Marie Black is standing for the Hurunui<br />
mayoralty again in the upcoming<br />
October Local Government elections.<br />
Mrs Blackwas elected Mayor in 2019,<br />
and believes the strong platform set in<br />
her first three year term has been<br />
influential in guiding the district<br />
through the unprecendented pressure.<br />
‘‘The pastthree years has beena<br />
culmination of business as usual,<br />
leading the district throughsignificant<br />
reformand supporting the district and<br />
its peoplethroughthe global<br />
pandemic,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘We are not immunetofacing<br />
challenges with climatechange, floods,<br />
drought and earthquakes, and Ilook<br />
forward to providing the continuity and<br />
stability of leadershipthrough the next<br />
triennium.’’<br />
Mayor Black believes there is moreto<br />
do, and wants to continue coastal<br />
conversations,advocate further for the<br />
attraction and retention of services<br />
acrossthe district, and she is<br />
particularly focused on healthdelivery<br />
and the reopening of WaikariHospital.<br />
‘‘The suite of reforms, inclusive of<br />

water services and resource<br />
management is placing the district<br />
under undue pressure, and Isee aneed<br />
for calm decisive decision making by<br />
those who understand community, and<br />
those who value the contributionthat<br />
many volunteers maketoour district.’’<br />
