With 6 existing councillors leaving the NPDC voters need to choose new people this year. Meet some of the new Candidates on video here.

With voters having to choose new people to vote for this year, due to 6 existing councillors leaving the NPDC, we have arranged 2 events with new Candidates.

With 32 new people standing we have split the events into 2 groups.

The first event was on 4^th September with roughly half of the new Candidates.

This is the link to the New Candidates video, with the speeches and questions:

• Lots of people are saying Who do I vote for ?

At this first event we had Candidates standing for the District Wide Ward, Kaitake Ngamotu General Ward, one from the North Ward, and one from the Maori Ward.

The beauty of video is you can scroll through and just listen to the District Wide Councillors and Candidates you can vote for in your ward, you don’t have to listen to all the video if you don’t have time.

• After watching the video you can find out more about the Candidates by:

Reading their profiles on our website here (listed by the ward they are in):

These also have a link for each candidate to the NPDC website page with questions the NPDC asked all the candidates.

And we have answers to a survey we sent out to all the candidates on our website here:

We are still expecting replies to the surveys, so these will continue to be updated in the next few weeks.

• The other half of the new Candidates will be at our event on Monday 15^th September, and we will also have a video available after that event.
• Please tell others about this video of you think they would be interested
