#BHNDunedin | Ep7 | Lee Vandervis for Dunedin City Mayor

#BHNDunedin | Ep7 | Lee Vandervis for Dunedin City Mayor   Candidate Statement  My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area. I am also standing for Councillor.   As your independent Mayor free from Old-Boy or Party-Political pressures, I will fight to keep our   $3 billion 3 Waters assets from Government/Iwi takeover, keep our One-Way traffic flowing, optimise more parking and ensure that Councillors know what most people want with regular informal referendums.   I will promote Vibrant Dunedin and use my long Councillor and business experience to attract investment, get real returns from Council Companies, stop rates and debt increases of $100 million annually, defer $100 million+ of planned cycleways through George st, Princes st, Uni etc, and get progress on stalled decisions like Stadium use, Unitary Council, Sammy's, Mayfair Theatre, and Taieri Gorge Railway (that has been costing us $2.5 million annually just to mothball).   Dunedin's glorious past shows that we can have a glorious future if we: encourage development rather than retreat (as with South Dunedin), open smaller easier contracts to everyone, and ensure Democratic decisions.
