A pragmatic, future-thinking approach, that is what I bring to the council table and that is why I'm standing for re-election to Council. Upper Hutt is going through a period of rapid growth and whilst some see this as a negative, I see this is an opportunity for us to shape our city for the future. I'm a councillor who is active and visible in the community throughout the term - not just at election time.
The cost of living crisis is tough for so many of us that's why I'm committed to keeping rates affordable whilst still proactively investing in our infrastructure.
I'm truly passionate about Upper Hutt and I want to see it remain one of the best places in the country to raise a family, to run a business, and to enjoy our stunning natural environment. Vote for a strong progressive voice on council.
Chris Carson
My principal place of residence is in the Council area.
I am seeking re-election for my third term as a Councillor. I currently chair the Council's Finance and Performance Committee utilising my background as a chartered accountant with experience in financial management and governance.
As a Councillor I pledge to: keep rates as low as possible; ensure basic services (footpaths, roads, parks, etc) provided by Council are as expected by the Upper Hutt community;
oppose the 3 Waters Reform currently proposed by Government; work to protect Upper Hutt's natural environment, its heritage, support actions to mitigate climate change impact, push for the conservation of water and the protection of Te Awa Kairangi; argue for a Youth Council; work to have a community centre; and ensure our city has a coherent traffic plan (roads, bikes, walking) to meet current patterns and future developments such as housing. We can do things better in Upper Hutt and I will strive to achieve this.
