Tony Simons

You deserve a councillor who puts Riccarton first – ahead of political parties or ideology.

I stand as a genuine independent voice, because common-sense and our community’s future should always come before politics.

I’ve lived in Riccarton for over 20 years and for the past three I have fought hard alongside residents trying to stop poorly planned intensification overwhelming neighbourhoods. Like you, I want sensible, community-led development that fits our area.

My focus is what matters to you most: reducing rates rises, sensible spending, improving basic infrastructure, making footpaths safer, better roads (with fewer speed bumps), supporting a safer community and advocating for more trees and green spaces.

With a career in journalism and education I know how to ask the right questions, challenge poor decisions, and communicate clearly.

With your support we can make sure Riccarton is a safe, affordable, and vibrant place to call home.
