My principal place of residence is in the Tauranga City Council area.
Jos4Mayor Benevolent & Visionary Governance Jos Nagels, Tauranga Resident since 1976, married to Pauline. A civil engineering career over 35 years encompassed roading, traffic, transportation, tunnelling/rail, stormwater, sewage, contract management and design/reports thus familiar with infrastructures. Since 2002 successfully established own business as a solar engineer.
As never before, a complete rethink is overdue rather than repeated uncoordinated scenarios of wasting millions on unsustainable overwhelmingly flawed polices.
Under knowledgeable leadership and most importantly for the greater public good, Tauranga can forge a unified, progressive long term integrated plan which simultaneously balances solutions to transportation, pollution, environmental, housing, CBD, climate change policy, etc.
Well planned passenger rail utilizing the existing rail corridor confers sustainability, efficiency, long term benefits to all and crucially can be done. Holistically, important issues including plastics, land, atmospheric degradation demand serious attention.
Visionary, Energetic, Motivated 71, commonsense, practical.
Vote Jos for unified mayoral leadership.
