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
