Avondale-Roskill Cavalcade

The Avondale-Roskill team of candidates picked a beautifully sunny Saturday for their cavalcade across the Ward, with the aim of raising profile and reminding people to cast their votes.

The cavalcade set out from Roskill in the morning and drove around large parts of the area. At shopping areas and strategic residential areas, candidates would stop for a 20 minute burst of doorknocking, leafleting, and a good old fashioned street corner meeting. After lunch at the Cock n' Bull Lynfield we continued on to Avondale.

David Rhodes (Avondale-Roskill Council), Carmel Sepuloni (Roskill Community Board) and Michael Wood (Roskill Community Board) did the honours with the megaphone at street corner meetings. The public response was overwhelmingly positive. People seemed to appreciate seeing candidates being out and active, and openly stating our views on the important issues.

The crew finished off in Avondale town centre at the end of a hectic day, managing to cap things off in style by reminding voters of porn king Steve Crow's shady credentials as he paraded a gigantic sign down the mainstreet behind a large 4-wheel drive.

All in all, an excellent day of campaigning.
