VOTE IS
IMPORTANT!
Elections are being held soon for six members of the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board.
WHO WINS WILL BE CRITICAL FOR ALL RESIDENTS ON THE NORTH SHORE.
Thats because what the Board does has a profoundly important impact on community life.
Rates, roads, public transport, protecting the environment, making sure we have a strong
influence on the big decision makers in Auckland.
All these depend on how active, determined and committed the Devonport-Takapuna Board is.
This booklet will introduce you to TEAM GEORGE WOOD.
You can see who they are and how they mean business when it comes to pursuing the best
interests of the people on the North Shore.

This is a high priority issue for all who live on the North Shore. Whether
it should be a bridge or a tunnel to provide for both road and rail are
matters of vital concern to communities in the area. Under the leadership
of George Wood, the Board will keep both the Government and Auckland
Council alert to the urgency of the second harbour crossing.

The area has fallen behind other local boards areas in failing to protect
our green, open spaces. More needs to be done also in maintaining
existing parks and reserves. One major issue that must be dealt with
is the restoration of the Takapuna to Milford coastal walkway. Dacre,
Sunnynook and Becroft parks are vital to our community and greater
allocation of the budget must go to these parks.
