Simon Hema
Candidate for Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board (Tāmaki)

Glen Innes is home to me and my three children. I’m a born and bred local having lived in Leybourne Circle and Courtland Ave for the first 20 years of my life. I was head boy at Glendowie College and served Glen Innes as a local Policeman.

The increase in crime and disorder in our neighbourhoods is an issue that we need to solve as a community. I have the experience to do this.

I’ve held managerial positions, both in NZ and abroad, in the hospitality sector and am currently a Stevedore at Auckland Ports.

I’m proud about Glen Innes, Panmure and their thriving cultures. As a C&R local board member, I will seek to improve our community facilities, work in partnership with local organisations to revitalise our town centres, and ensure our local area is enduring for future generations.
