Candidate Meme: Christopher Dempsey


Today - Christopher Dempsey, current Eden-Albert Community Board member, standing for re-election:


What is your favourite place in Auckland and why?


The steps of the War Memorial Museum, at dusk on a cool, dry, slightly cloudy, winters day.
The views over the harbour are stupendous, and the sense of history is powerful. One of my relatives is named on the war memorial inside, and I can see North Head, where my forefathers and foremothers sailing from Graves End in England, arriving here in March 1866, went past. The sense of how things change yet the landscape endures is quite remarkable.


Name one policy you would like to implement in your local area.


More artwork! Artwork, of all shapes, sizes and materials would make Eden Albert great!


Why are you standing for your position?


I care about people and about the environment that they live in. I want people and their families to have the best living environment possible.


If John Banks is the answer, what's the question?
Who’s yesterday’s man?


Vote for me and the City Vision team for...


More artwork, more transport choices, and a focus on the quality of life issues, not money.
