If elected to represent Henderson-Massey, I, Repeka George-Koteka, pledge:
I believe people of all ages should feel able to bike safely to get around. Auckland needs more climate-friendly transport to ensure a sustainable and resilient Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, protecting our environment and communities for future generations. If elected, I commit to making a safe, connected cycle network a priority.
Comments
There are some major gaps in the community in mobilization towards this vision. Every step in the right direction is progress. Any elected member should consider this and look to actively see a shift in the gaps (mindsets, financial, resources) over the next three years.
