Catherine Farmer: Avondale-Roskill By-Election Candidate

City Vision has selected well known local Catherine Farmer to be our candidate for the Avondale-Roskill Council By-Election.

Catherine is a long-standing member of the Avondale Community Board and has a strong record of being active in the local community.

Recent savage cuts to community services by the C&R Council show how desperately Avondale-Roskill needs someone who will stand up and fight for our area. The three existing Avondale-Roskill C&R Councillors have been complicit in cutting spending on important local initiatives such as the Avondale pool. Catherine will get stuck in and speak up for Avondale-Roskill.

Vote Catherine Farmer to give Avondale-Roskill a voice on Council.

By-Election in Avondale-Roskill

As earlier reported, the death of Councillor Linda Leighton means that a by-election will be held in the Avondale-Roskill Ward.

The Election day will be Wednesday 9 April, with ballot papers mailed to residents three weeks earlier on Wednesday 19 March.

Despite reports from the all-knowing Aaron Bhatnagar, City Vision Talk can confirm that the City Vision candidate for the by-election has not yet been selected (but will be within the week)!

Our candidate, when chosen, will be campaigning hard on securing a fair deal for Avondale-Roskill residents. As evidenced by the recent decision by C&R to can the Avondale pool, it is important to have a strong local Councillor who is willing to stand up and fight for Avondale-Roskill.
