What Jami-Lee Ross stands for:

  ü  Ensuring Howick has strong representation on Council

- Howick is a unique community that needs councillors willing to work together and with other Manukau City Councillors to achieve progress for Howick.

  ü  Fixing the unfair Manukau Water wastewater charges

- Fixed wastewater charges have cause a lot of concern in the community since being introduced last year. Jami-Lee Ross strongly believes in changing wastewater charges so that they would be based on actual water usage.

  ü  Maintaining public ownership of our airport shareholding

- Manukau City Council's airport shareholding is an extremely good investment for current ratepayers and future generations. Selling these shares to an overseas company would be a very bad move for Manukau City

  ü  Spending ratepayers money conservatively

- The culture of wasteful spending in Council needs to end. Grandiose schemes, wasteful spending and bad decisions all add up to a poor performing Council.

  ü  Working to provide Howick with quality community facilities

- Quality recreation centres, plenty of green space and clean beaches are high on his priority list to keep Howick a family friendly community.

  ü  Introducing Citizens Referenda for making major city decisions

- Traditional methods of public consultation usually result in a few hundred submitters. The holding of referendums on key issues on an annual basis would give all ratepayers a voice in local decision making.

  ü  Helping to build a clean, safe and secure environment

- One of Jami-Lee's top priorities as the Howick Councillor has been to ensure Howick remains as a family friendly community. It is essential for Council to provide plenty of open green space, maintain clean beaches, and promote a safe and secure environment
