LCPA hosts candidates forum

The Wellsford-based Landowners and Contractors Protection Association (LCPA) will host a Meet the Candidates forum at the Wellsford Community Centre on Friday, August 30 at 7pm.

LCPA chair Brian Mason says the forum will provide a platform for those hoping to be elected to Auckland Council and the Rodney Local Board to explain their wishes and intentions.

After election hopefuls have presented, a questions and answer session will follow.

Mayoral candidates have already been invited and Rodney Local Board hopefuls are invited to register to attend.

Mr Mason says the LCPA represents the rural sector both within Rodney and nationally.

It meets monthly to address rural activities suffering from what it sees as unfair compliance issues.

He says the LCPA was recently reinvigorated with addition of two rural professionals to the LCPA committee.

The LCPA is currently encouraging new membership.

Aspiring candidates wishing to register for the Meet the Candidates forum should contact Brian on 423 7187 (evenings) or email waikauri1@xtra.co.nz

Those wishing to join the LCPA should contact Neil Jones on 423 8194.
