I want to publicly congratulate Rodney councillor Greg Sayers on his efforts for our area to date. He is standing up for the nor-west which is a refreshing change. Not only is he consistently challenging Mayor Goff’s spendng, he’s already achieved a new reserve for Riverhead, got Auckland Council to allow local contractors into Council tenders, stopped a 150 per cent rates increase on local motels, and is hounding the Crown to fix our traffic congestion. If he keeps this up, we may well end up with Sayers as our next Mayor.
