About me

Location Wellington, New Zealand
Introduction I’m a Wellingtonian and a New Zealander by choice, living on the Miramar peninsula for 19 years with my partner Anne – I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I was born and brought up in England, moving to Wellington 25 years ago. I have worked mainly in the transport area in both the private and public sectors, and I’ve been a Returning Officer at a number of General Elections. I recently took Wellington City Council to court because of the poor planning of the Indoor Community Sports Centre, and achieved significant improvements for sustainable transport. I see the city from the perspectives of a resident, a ratepayer, an employer, an employee, a volunteer, a walker, a bus and ferry passenger and a driver.
