Andrew Turner selected to contest Banks Peninsula
The People’s Choice is pleased to announce that Andrew Turner has been selected to contest the Banks Peninsula ward.
He says “as councillor I am pleased to have delivered on a significant repair and rebuild of community facilities, real
representation for Peninsula communities, and a strong commitment to community involvement, democracy and openness in
decision making".
“If re-elected, my priorities will be to ensure the new Banks Peninsula community board is a success with appropriate
powers and support, to continue to deliver the rebuild and repair of facilities — like the Lyttelton Library — as a
priority, to ensure the community is genuinely involved in decision making, and to ensure the Peninsula voice continues
to be heard loud and clear at the council table."
