Just one of ruling board faction standing again
Devonport-Takapuna Local Board chair Mel Powell is not standing for re-election in the upcoming local body elections. Her surprise move leaves deputy chair Terence Harpur as the only sitting board member on the A Fresh Approach ticket of six candidates for the six board seats.
The group’s third current board member, Peter Allen, has also chosen not to stand for a second term. He says he intends focusing on his businesses. Powell told the Observer she was returning to community development work. “It was a difficult decision to make and
it has been a privilege to serve the community,” she said. Flood recovery advocacy almost convinced her to stay, but she had decided her skills were better deployed in issues, including homelessness, off the board. To page 2
