Ezekiel Robson

Ezekiel Robson has been a local resident for 45 years; a fearless disability advocate leading change through local and national advisory roles for decades.

In 2013 he saved Te Mahia Station from imminent closure against the odds. Ezekiel continues to advocate for better lifts that won't break down, leaving our elderly stranded.

He volunteered 15 years as a Youthline Counsellor, Mentor and Group Facilitator.

Ezekiel cares about resolving day-to-day issues like uneven footpaths, roaming cats and dogs causing havoc in our neighbourhoods, and crime prevention.

Protecting the environment is important; stopping illegal rubbish-dumping and littering keeps our land and water healthy. He will support your choice for weekly rubbish collections.

Ezekiel champions quality transport planning systems to keep local roads flowing, and public transport reliable and accessible.

Like in 2013, he will make the right decisions for our future.
