Candidate Statement

My principal place of residence is not in the area.

I’m running for Council to bring some young blood and fight to a Council that has become far too comfortable raising rates at an astonishing speed, while failing to deliver improvements in community services.

I’m campaigning with two priorities in mind: lower rates – I believe residents should see better value for their money.

I’ll push for smarter spending and greater transparency at Council level. Attracting investment – Carterton has huge potential.

I want to support local businesses and bring new investment into our District to grow jobs and opportunities.

Vote Joshua Groot, to bring desperately needed change and youthful energy to a complacent, comfortable Council.
