Political Candidates Meetings:  Everyone welcome to these events.

Organised by Milford Residents Assn, Castor Bay Residents & Ratepayers Assn, Milford Baptist Church.

23 September, 7pm, Meet the Mayoral Candidates and Meet the Councillor Candidates

30 September, 7pm, Meet the Local Board Candidates - Both meetings at Milford Baptist Church, Dodson Ave

We have a full slate of acceptances from Councillor and Local Board candidates for these two dates. Mayoral candidate Kerrin Leoni has accepted but we have had no confirmation from Mayor Brown. 

We do know that Mayor Brown has accepted an invitation to a Meet the Mayoral and Councillor Candidates event, at North Shore Netball Centre, 44 Northcote Road, 1pm-3pm. Organised by Grey Power North Shore & Hibscus Coast.  

It's rumoured this will be the only meeting Brown will attend and you may therefore elect to attend this meeting. The Netball Centre has 350 seats so it will pay to go early.
