Jim Anderton takes his campaign to the streets.

The People's Mayor, Jim Anderton is launching a busy schedule of street corner meetings as part of his campaign to take his message directly to the people of Christchurch.

“Part of my campaign will be on the streets because I believe we need a Mayor and a Council who listen to the people. I'm going to be out on the streets for the rest of the campaign, talking directly to the people and listening to the issues that matter to them”.

Mr Anderton said he was committed to being an open and accountable Mayor and his campaign was reflecting this.

“This city is sick and tired of a Council which makes all its important decisions behind closed doors. If elected I'll be a Mayor who will be easily accessible to the people.”

Mr Anderton will be speaking in the Spreydon/Heathcote Ward on Saturday 18th of September. There will be a meeting at 11am outside the St Martin Shops at the corner of Wilson's Road and Gamblins Rd. Then there will be a meeting at 11:40am outside Countdown on Colombo Street. Then a meeting at 12:10 pm outside the Addington Shops on Lincoln Rd.

Mr Anderton will then speak in the Burwood/Pegasus ward at 2pm on the corner of Doreen Street and Marlow Road. Then there will be a meeting at 2:20 pm at the Hampshire Street Shops, at 2:40pm on the Corner of Keyes Road and Lonsdale Street and at 3.00pm on the corner of Bowhill Road and Palmers Road. The last two meetings of the day will be at 3:20pm on the corner of Flemington Ave and Randwick Street, then at 3:40pm atQueenspark Drive across from the supermarket.

Mr Anderton will also be speaking in the Riccarton/Wigram ward on Sunday 19th September at three locations. He will speak on the corner of Main South Rd and Carmen Rd at 11:30am, on the corner of Brynley St and Trevor St at 12:10am and on the corner of Middlepark Rd and Craven St at 12:40pm.
