Greetings,Ian
Bryan Pepperell‘Ready, willing and able’. “Yes! I believe that I can serve our city as Mayor. My ten years as a councillor have given me a total insight into how the city works and, I believe, what the community wants/needs.” Councillor Bryan Pepperell started his public service career on City Watch with Jack Ruben. “It was a ratepayer ginger group and from that involvement I was encouraged to stand for election as a councillor. We, the Council, are a disparate group and really apart from Jack, there is no one that I would choose as a friend. There are also some quite ambivalent relationships. For instance, I know of one Councillor who has not declared an interest in the proposed aquarium, and I am totally against that and, for that matter, am vehemently against an aquarium on the coast!”
Mr Pepperell was the lowest spending candidate at the last election and rates his chances of being elected Mayor, “as very good. Last time there were too many candidates.” He says that he stands for transparency and accountability and has a telling definition of democracy = ‘majority rule, minority protection, shared economic benefits’.Returning to the proposed aquarium, Councillor Pepperell says that the point is a heritage site and should not be built on. “I am totally against it, and am greatly concerned about the potential for major traffic problems. If allowed to proceed it will set a disastrous precedent by commercialising our coast.”
Defining his outlook on civic affairs, Bryan Pepperell says “I am not and have never been available for sectional interest - I have the public interest at heart, I am concerned about ethics and I believe that serving the City either as Councillor or Mayor is not about ‘me’, it’s about ‘us’.” And, elected Mayor, the three things he would work on right away are – to set up a climate change committee with clout; deal more effectively with alternative methods of transport – walking and cycling and deal to the commercial differential in rating which he believes has gone far enough.
Bryan Pepperell’s passions are collecting art, mountain biking and tramping. He is a skilful user of the Internet and has his own site www.pepptalk.net Says Bryan Pepperell, “I am a born again bicycle philosopher and word warrior. The web is mightier than the sword.”Bryan Pepperell interviewed by Ian Macfarlane Publisher/Editor of Cnews, 'the community magazine' = www.Cnews.co.nz
