CHAIR

I am Allen Grainger, a resident of nearly ten years here in Pokeno.

I am currently a member of the Pokeno Community Committee, working on your behalf to bring new and much needed facilities to our Town. Including the Pokeno Sports Park and Market Street Community HUB.

These will give our generation and those in future years places they can be proud of and call their own.

Pokeno is growing rapidly and we need to have a strong voice working along side the Waikato District Council. We must ensure we get the best for our Rates and other costs, providing green spaces to enable all our Residents a place to enjoy and relax in. We need to ensure our Town is presented in the best possible condition, with gardens and surrounds being regularly maintained.

Waikato District Council cannot always provide funding to cover costs of new facilities, so I want to be part of the Fund Raising groups to allow this to happen. A Community Centre building or similar at the Sports Park comes readily to mind, lets get the project started and give Pokeno somewhere our people can enjoy for years to come.

I am passionate about Pokeno growing and being the best Town around. One of my yearly ventures is the Annual Christmas Parade which brings so much joy to many.

I am POSITIVELY POKENO a fantastic place to live and grow.
