Accomodation

I am a third year student. I have been involved in accomodation activities since 1973, firstly as an active member of TPA's Wellington branch, then as president of VUWTPA. during 1974. I am currently involved in TPA giving counselling services and would be prepared to extend such services to students.

As Accomodation Officer it would be my policy to support the aquisition of suitable flats and houses by the Students' Association as an alternative to financial investments. I support the policies of Wellington City Council of aquiring inner city residential accomodation and feel that those houses in the area of the University should be made available for student occupation. I am opposed to the building of large and segregated student barns of the Weir House type, favouring aquisition of the many old large houses in the Kelburn area as student accomodation.

If elected I would make myself regularly available for consultation concerning tenancy problems and would endeavour to alleviate accomodation shortages.
