Answers by Mayoral candidates and would be Counillors to our call to protect these views

Victoria Crone: I am very supportive of retaining these view shafts in Howick. If I was to be elected Mayor, it would be important to meet and discuss this in more detail. I would also want to know, in doing this, how many homes we would be removing from the unitary plan.It does not look like many. Phil Goff: No reply Would be Councillors Dick Quax/Sharon Stewart support a plan change as does David Hay Matthew Cross: Priority would be to have it rezoned back to single dwellings. If that was unachievable it would be to ensure that sight lines were maintained via view shafts. We can't lose those views and it's entirely wrong place for intensification. Olivia Montgomery: I am dedicated to preserve our beautiful view of Stockade Hill absolutely, I am going to represent the opinions of our ward and are planning to hold meetings on the different perspectives, and represent those rather than other politicians that work purely to appease their special interests or parties. Paul Young: I am personal not support those intensive developments without majority residents opinion. As the issue of public views should be agreed by majority or the best interests of local residents. Tofik Mamedov: No reply Gyandara Kumar: No reply
