Mr Matt RaileyObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Mr Matt RaileyI object to removing Rodney as the name.Rodney district is an area I am proud to call home. I have no affiliation with Helensville. Renaming an electorate a something people have little or no connection with further disenfranchises them and will negatively affect voter turnout. Suggested solutionKeep the Rodney area named as Rodney.Stop paying money to people to create unnecessary changes just to justify their jobs. |

John BlakeyObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
John BlakeyThe name Helensville is in appropriate. it’s a name of a town not a region. Rodney is the region and most of the electorate falls within the area covered by the Rodney Community Board. Most of us won’t relate to the name Helensville at all. |

Peter JenkinsObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Peter JenkinsThis seat now includes large parts of the former Rodney seat which have no connection with and are quite distant from the town of Helensville. Mahurangi, Warkworth, the Matakana Coast and surrounding areas might look near Helensville on the map but are far apart and - more importantly - have no natural connection. It is not even a place that people drive to or through (given people drive straight down SH1 into the city). To be part of an electorate called Helensville is to be part of an electorate named after a distant town, we might as well be part of an electorate named Hamilton. This is particularly ridiculous when another, better suited name, exists.Having an electorate name so detached from your area just seems to affirm the idea that politics and parliament have nothing to do with the local people. The MP for Helensville does not and will never feel like a local MP with that title. Suggested solutionThere used to be an electorate called Kaipara. This would be the best name for the new electorate. This would immediately include the town of Helensville and surrounding areas (which are on the shores of the Kaipara Harbour). But would also make sense to those districts that have been removed from the old Rodney electorate - both because of the previous historic connection with the town but also because Kaipara (Kaipara Harbour, Kaipara Flats, Kaipara hills) is a known local geography and connection, so it is easy to understand and to see that it is connected. In short, naming the electorate Kaipara would be a better fit for the actual geographic area it now covers and be most effective at making citizens feel like it was their local electorate. |

This objection relates to a name change
Trish WebbI have no objection to boundary changes but the name of one. Why call a boundary change after one small town in it. Helensville Name should remain Rodney |

Carlie Blanchett-BurtonObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Carlie Blanchett-BurtonI object to the west and north of rodney being in a electorate named Helensville - Helensville is the name of a town on the West Coast so the electorate name does not reflect the whole areaSuggested solutionAs Hibiscus coast is being renamed Whangaparoa the north and west area should be called Rodney not Helensville |

Mr Tim HarrisonObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Mr Tim Harrisonthe town name 'Helensville' is not appropriate for the boundary adjusted electorate. In the past this whole area, electorate, was in fact called 'Rodney' so reverting back to the original name for the area would make the most sense.Suggested solutioncall the electorate 'Rodney' |

Cheryl BlakeyObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Cheryl BlakeyI object to this name change when boundaries change. The area encompassed by the current Rodney Electorate is much greater than the current Helensville electorate. Boundary changes will incorporate much more of the old Rodney area than the old Helensville area.Call the new revised boundary area by the name of the largest area - Rodney. Leave Helensville as a settlement just as many other parts of Rodney - Wellsford, Matakana, etc are settlements. I live in the settlement of Ti Point, a very long way away from the settlement of Helensville. Imagine Helensville voters’ objections if Ti Point or Leigh were choices for the new electorate name! |

Terry CorneliusObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Terry CorneliusHelensville is a small town at the western extremity of this electorate, away from the population concentrations on the East Coast. Warkworth for example has approximately twice the population of Helensville.I would suggest a Māori name for the electorate that more residents would relate to, and would feel was representative of the area where they live. Mahurangi would for example would be more representative for most people. Suggested solutionRename the electorate Mahurangi |
