Kiddle’s to-do list out [ODT, 14/09/19]

Queenstown Lakes mayoral candidate Nik Kiddle has set himself 17 initiatives to achieve before Christmas Eve, if he is elected.
The new council will be sworn in on October 24, which gives Mr Kiddle 61 days to action his “before Christmas action plan”, released this week.
Mr Kiddle said he plans to fix “the damage and neglect of the last three years”.
The 17 initiatives covered community consultation, infrastructure funding, the future of district airports, transport, water and waste.
“For good measure Mr Kiddle will focus on improving the performance of Veolia and the Otago Regional Council in the district,” the release said.
“By Christmas 2019 all of the initiatives will be under way, not all completed, but all started.”
