It was great to be at the City Vision campaign launch on Sunday 4 August with such an enthusiastic and positive buzz of candidates and supporters.
Chair Robert Gallagher welcomed Mayor Len Brown and a strong presence of MPs – local Mt Roskill MP Phil Goff, Mt Albert’s David Shearer, Jacinda Ardern and Denise Roche from Auckland Central and Carol Beaumont from Maungakiekie.
Mayor Len Brown spoke about the achievements of the first Auckland Council in the areas of affordable housing, securing the CBD Rail Link and rates restraint. He committed to continuing an inclusive approach to get things done and to ensure the old C&R ways of oppositional politics did not return.
The whole City Vision team standing for the Waitemata Local Board were there with City Vision endorsed Cr Mike Lee who is standing for the Waitemata & Gulf Ward.
City Vision has also launched a new website at www.cityvision.org.nz and campaigning is underway.
