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.
