Need a reason to Vote Slater? I'll give you 12 million reasons

by Whaleoil on September 1, 2010

I’ll give you 12 million reasons why voting for Slater in Albany Ward is a better option than giving your vote to Andrew Williams or Julia Parfitt.

Northern Aquatic Centre debacle – Andrew Williams and Julia Parfitt fought tooth and nail to have the pool located 200 metres from where it will eventually be built. The cost of that fight in consultants fees alone was over $1 million and the pool still isn’t built after 3 years. The consultants three times rejected Andrew Williams contention that it was better for Albany 200 metres away. there is a million reasons right there.

Mairangi Beachfront – Williams has spent more than $10 million in buying three old houses and bulldozing them to make a park. That is some park, 10 million more reasons to Vote Slater in Albany Ward.

North Shore City Council Website – With less than 15 months left to run of the North Shore City Council, Andrew Williams and his A-Team authorise the spending of more than $500,000 on a new website. Another 500,000 reasons to Vote Slater in Albany Ward.

If you needed just one reason, there are over 12 million reasons right there. I won’t be wasting ratepayers hard earned cash on consultants, old houses or silly websites.

    The latest review, undertaken by Paul Tredinnick of Alpha Leisure, Rachel de Lambert of Boffa Miskell and David Allen of Strategic Leisure, gave the stadium a 23 percent margin over Massey in a set of three criteria. The panel says it considers this to be a “significant difference”. It summarised its findings saying that the stadium offers greater security and certainty because of the council’s underlying ownership. An aquatic centre was also consistent with the reserve status of the land.

    The university site had engineering and site issues and would require a tributary of the Oteha Stream to be filled in.

    The stadium site was also more suitable for future expansion.

    It had good linkages to an existing recreation facility and was perceived as being public and recreational in nature.

    As you say, the two sites are 200 metres apart. And as we can see, Andrew’s preferred site has “engineering and site issues and would require a tributary of the Oteha Stream to be filled in.”

    So why oh why is Andrew so very very keen on choosing Massey over the Stadium? Why?
