James Gough

Independent Citizens

My principal place of residence is in the Fendalton Ward of the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board area.

After 15 rewarding years as your City Councillor, I’m excited by the prospect of contributing in a different way. My commitment to our community is as strong as ever.

With a deep understanding of council processes and a track record of delivering meaningful outcomes, I bring a business lens with a people focus, putting you and our city’s future at the heart of decision making.

Curbing unsustainable rates rises and refocusing spending on the fundamentals matters, like well-maintained roads and footpaths, quality playgrounds, and greater tree canopy coverage to enhance our Garden City image.

I’m committed to ensuring our community is safe, vibrant, and affordable, now and for future generations.

While stepping back from Council to focus on business, governance and family, I have the energy and drive to contribute through our Community Board.

It has been my privilege to represent you, and I would value your support once again.
