Lyttelton - portal to Canterbury’s historic past, a vibrant sustainable community, creating a living future. 2 - Lyttelton News - Friday September 21 2007 Introducing our candidates In June under the facilitation of Bliss Browne from Imagine: Chicago, people from Lyttelton and the Harbour basin had the opportunity to imagine what is possible for this area. Out of that conversation arose a number of key issues that the community identified as important. Each candidate was invited to respond to questions based on these issues. Space limitations meant only some of the issues from that event have been put in question form to each of the candidates. Each candidate was given the opportunity to make a short statement and respond to the following questions. (listed as below) They were invited to send in a photograph of themselves A statement about tehmselves and what they stand for A response to the following questions * What would a Treaty Based future for Lyttelton and the Harbour basin look like to you and how would you bring that about? * What is your position on participatory democracy? * Affordable housing is an issue for this area, what involvement would you have to rectify this? Space is limited so each candidate had 200 words maximum to cover their personal statement and the three questions. How they divided that number of words was up to them.
