At the recent Local Government conference one of the more enlightened speakers used this quote in his talk:

' There is no power greater than a community knowing what it cares about'

A prescient quote in light of the elections drawing near. Use that power and vote. We have shown during the last few years we care about water, roading, the aquatic centre, the arts. Keep caring Kapiti. The statistics show that we only have between 40% to 50% of us who vote. I don't think that's enough to get good representation to look after all those issues you have submitted on.
