I’m Stuart Aitken and I’m running for council. Why?
I’ve been a staunch defender of the ‘Tron’ for decades – even when not living here. It had a vibrant nightlife, bustling CBD and beautiful parks and gardens, rivalling Christchurch as the garden city of New Zealand.
Sadly, Hamilton is becoming the very thing that our critics used to accuse us of being – dull and scruffy with a lifeless CBD. All while our current council is driving us into a financial bottomless pit.
Over a billion dollars of debt so far and we have nothing of value to show for it – not only that, essential infrastructure has been completely ignored.
We need a city that has the amenities and facilities we need – sensibly funded – and we need a city we can be proud of once more.
With change, we can do exactly that. I support the Better Hamilton campaign.
