One Year Out and No Indication On Thames Coromandel Mayoral Role

Written by John Freer on November 12, 2024

No indication yet as to who will be campaigning to be Thames Coromandel District’s Mayor at next year’s local government elections.

This after CFM approached all existing Thames Coromandel District Councillors to see who would be putting their hands up again for the next three-year stint.

Current Mayor, Len Salt, advised us that it was too early to make a call, saying let’s talk after Christmas.

He said right now he had a job to do, and still a year of work ahead of him – his focus being the annual plan, three waters and a number of other pressing issues.

Councillors John Morrisey, Martin Rodley, Robyn Sinclair, Deli Connell and Rekha Giri-Percival, all confirmed they will be seeking re-election.

Not standing after 12-years in local government is the Deputy Mayor, Cr Terry Walker.

Three people have left the door open being Councillors Gary Gotlieb, John Grant and Peter Revell – Cr Revell being the only one of the three not to rule out either a seat at the council table or a crack at the mayoralty.
