I like being apart of Auckland City and thus being in the Central health board. Auckland city has and always will be better than middlemore and with a toddler I feel better and safer going to Auckland City hospital.

That parts of the Maungakiekie-Tamaki board area be split, dividing communities and putting in place leadership (i.e. politicians from Manukau East) who have no connection to the Tamaki community.

Plenty of reasons - Panmure has no previous history or community of interest with the Manukau East electorate.
The proposed change would separate Panmure not only from its own railway station but also a significant part of its community in the Mountain Road area, along with businesses to the west of the railway line and Jellicoe Road.
seems unfair that all other surrounding electorates - Tamaki, Epsom, Maungakiekie, Mangere, Manurewa, Botany and Pakuranga - are allowed to maintain their identity and sense of cohesion under the changes, but Panmure, along with Glen Innes, Point England, and parts of Mount Wellington and Otahuhu, will be forced to lose theirs.
With the current Tamaki Regeneration process foresees a significant population increase in Panmure, Glen Innes and Point England coming decades. This is likely to force a reversal of this proposal by the Electoral Commission in years to come.

it will isolate a part of the north side of tamaki with an area it has no allegiance with. We will be left scrambling for resources in a part of Auckland that we have no real physical connection to, it will also make it very disturbing to our more vulnerable members of our electorate to have to become familiar with a whole new set of social resources (hospitals and clinics in particular)

We are most concerned about the proposed electoral boundary changes for Panmure, and we write this with a sense of futility. Who is gong to listen to us? Nobody has listen to us for years through all the dramatic change in our electorate, which have ignored all the protests.
Given that Panmure has never had any similarity or connection with the Manukau East electorate we make the following points
• All the electorates around us, i.e. Tamaki, Maungakiekie, Manurewa, Epsom, Botany and Pakuranga are continuing to maintain their identity and togetherness with the new changes, but not Panmure, Glen Innes, Point England and parts of Otahuhu and Mt Wellington. Why?
• It is with a sense of disbelief that we see that the boundary is artificially separating the railway station from Panmure, including the area in Mountain Road and businesses to the west of the railway line and Jellicoe Rd. Why?
• Historically this electorate has always been within the Mt Wellington Borough Council area, why attach us to an electorate area which has not the slightest interest or knowledge of this are?
• The Tamaki Regeneration Project has already brought huge change to the area, coupled with the other huge change between Pakuranga and the Panmure Railway which is also hugely disadvantaging Panmure which has been sidelined. The proposed changes will make an already bad situation worse. We will wind up effectively with no respresentation, why would Manukau East be remotely interested or connected to us?
We are left with the feeling – who will care about us? We know with certainty that it won’t be Manukau East.
