Burwood Ward

My principal place of residence is in the Burwood Ward area.

My message is simple: Our city needs change. We need to get the basics right. Roads, rubbish, recycling and rates, and we need to push through the red tape holding our city back to get things done.
As current Chair of our local community board, I know the issues. I will vote on what's best for the people of the Burwood Ward as your independent voice.
I love Burwood and have lived here with my family for 30+ years. My wife was born here, and we raised our children here. This is our home.
I helped start the Burwood East Residents' Association, volunteer as a Trustee of a local group planning our new Community Centre, and I volunteer for the Community Watch, helping keep our community safe.
A vote for me is a vote for change. Vote Kelly Barber for Council. Contact me anytime 02108676195 or kelly4burwood@gmail.com

The Burwood Ward needs a fair deal - since the earthquakes we've been left behind. Many of our roads and footpaths still need fixing. Plus we need safe, healthy, connected neighbourhoods.
I grew up in the East, am Deputy Chair of my Community Board, a Mum to six grown-up kids, qualified lawyer and small business owner.
During my time on the Community Board, I've worked hard for the East, for Cranmer Square residents during the protests, and on a memorial for former Sunnyside patients.
I've got a track record as an effective community advocate - as a DHB member, at Community Law, as a school Board Chair and for maternity, mental health and disability issues.
If elected, I'll hold regular community clinics, and be accountable to residents.
My kids will tell you I'm like a dog with a bone. I'll be a dog with a bone for the East.

My principal place of residence is not in the Burwood Ward of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area.

I represented the people in Burwood for nine years during 2010-2019 and have been asked by residents to return.
While on the Board my colleagues and I championed many community projects in Burwood and the east, such as the new Aranui library and community hall. I was involved in the creation of Ripene Ma Reserve, the Tai Ora/QE2 build and use of Red Zone land, to name a few.
Hundreds of kilometres of services and roading was replaced during my tenure.
The years following the quakes were exhausting - thousands of meetings and planning. After three years' rest I have been encouraged by ex-colleagues to return to community projects, help protect residents from flooding in low-lying areas by pushing Council to prioritise flood mitigation plans, affordable housing options and fixing sewer issues.
A vote for me is for someone with experience and knowledge and here to make a difference.

My principal place of residence is in the Burwood Ward of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area.

I'm Mike, by standing for the community board I can make more of a difference!
Who am I? I'm a father, an independent community advocate, a former consultant, a school board member for over 6 years, co-founded and run the Avondale Neighbours Group, A supporter of the Avon Otakaro Network and the Otakaro Avon River Corridor projects.
Why am I standing? Because Burwood Matters - for too long the East of Christchurch has been neglected, roads gutters footpaths need fixing, flooding needs remediation, Earthquake repairs;
We need to build up community, get neighbours talking, reducing crime, decision making locally, making the East stand out again.
Why vote for me? Because I get things done! Worked with Police and Community Board to make Avondale's roads safer. I can think of solutions no one else has yet and I never ever give up on any issue.
What's Next! Vote Mike Gibbs

My principal place of residence is in the Burwood Ward of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area.

I have lived in Burwood my whole life, attending Windsor (now Waitakiri), Chisnallwood and SBHS.
My two children now attend those schools. I am a regular guy with a passion for sport and volunteering, which has seen me volunteer for the last 17 years for Canterbury Wheelchair rugby and led to coaching of the Wheel Blacks, most recently leading the team to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. For the past six years I have also coached junior cricket through East Christchurch Shirley. This means I am more than comfortable both being part of and leading a team. My experience as General Manager of a manufacturing business means I understand how to make practical, and commercially sensible decisions and I hope to bring that to a role on the community board.
