NIGEL SIMPSON
is running for Mayor of Napier 2025
Why am I running?
Change - to stop the rollercoaster decision making and to control the increasing debt
Rates - To control rates increases, your Council needs to take responsibility, there should not be any unbudgeted items
Progress - To get things done, we want a city that is moving forward, making the right decisions, vote decision makers on to Council
Culture - To build a positive cohesive Council & Management team, with an enabled workforce, working for and with our community
The purpose of this website
Throughout the election campaign I will use this website to:
- set out the reasons I am standing, matters of concern, things I'll improve
- I'll post constituent questions, and my answers
- let you know where I'll be, so you can meet me in person
the page will regularly have new content so come back to keep up to date ;)
Page updated 22/06/2025
