Rankin’s Auckland policies

Ngapuhi's David Rankin has announced he is standing for Auckland Council:

Ngapuhi leader David Rankin has announced his intention to stand for the Council in next year's local body elections.

“This Council is broken – it lacks imagination and integrity, and is driven by Len Brown's vanity projects, which will drive Auckland bankrupt,” he said in a statement released tonight.

His five policies are:

  1. put an immediate end to the inner-city loop, and invest the funds instead on roading.
  2. extend the urban limits of the city to allow the supply of more land for . The aim will be for a radical drop in land prices due to a huge supply of residential-zoned land
  3. disband the current Maori statutory board and replace it with a five-member advisory board with a total budget of $150,000.
  4. Restore the access to all the volcanic peaks as it existed in 2011
  5. Halt all future cycle lanes, and remove existing ones where they obstruct traffic and a bicycle registration system will be introduced so that future cycle lanes will be built when the fund accumulated from cyclist registrations allows for it.

like 2, 3 and 4.
