My name is Sheldon Nesdale and I am considering running for Tauranga City Council July to October 2016.
I am in research mode at the moment:
- I’m asking friends if they think Tauranga city needs someone like me on the council
- I’m meeting people and asking them why they live here, what they love and what frustrates them
- I’m writing a list of issues that I hear people talking about that I might be able to help with
- I’m attending council meetings to see if the content interests me and if I have a contribution to make
- I’m reading council documents to understand the purpose and role of council and if the content interests me
- I’m meeting current and past councillers to find out more about the highs and lows of the role
- I’m considering the impact on my family life and career
I intend to make my decision in the next few months.
Your role:
I want to hear from you if:
- You have ideas for issues that you think need my attention
- You have praise/warnings about my career choice
- You want to encourage/discourage me to stand
- You have information that I need to know before I choose
- You want to help support me by spreading the word if I decide to stand
I’m listening, so:
