Here’s the response from Mark Peck for Lamb­ton Ward.

1. WCC should work with Gov­ern­ment agen­cies and the likes of DCM to find prac­tic­al help for the home­less, like a home!

2 Look at smal­ler buses for travel through town, some ded­ic­ated cycle lanes and car free zones.

3 Not sure. How­ever I am also not sure that the spine report has the solu­tion either. Needs a fresh look.

4. 80% of all Wel­ling­ton busi­ness is small and medi­um busi­ness. Treat these busi­nesses with respect.

5 Sug­gest to Gov­ern­ment that they stop cut­ting the pub­lic ser­vice.

6. Wel­ling­ton needs more jobs and less unem­ploy­ment.

7 Access to good shared spaces, sports fields, lib­rar­ies and spe­cial events.

8 Pro­mote school vis­its around the concept of com­munity engage­ment and the import­ance of cit­izen­ship.

9 I have a recom­men­ded emer­gency kit,plenty of water in places where I can access it eas­ily. Noth­ing unusu­al in my kit.

10 I nev­er ask for a vote. I am avail­able to serve. If voters think I can con­trib­ute they might decide to vote for me.
