Michael McLafferty

I strongly object to moving a part of the Epsom boundaries into the Mt Albert electorate. For 50+ years my family and I have resided at [street name] and supported the Mt Eden village community , its family values , educational aspirations uniqueness and our Mt Eden identity , within the Epsom electorate. We do not wish to be in the Mt Albert electorate .

I understand that you are planning to change the boundaries of the Epsom electorate, and would like to voice my opinion since my neighborhood would be affected.

I must say I am opposed to the planned changes since I feel I share the interests of the community, and in fact I purchased my house ([street address]) in this community for this very reason.

Thank you for paying attention to this matter. Best wishes.

Ashish Mahajan

I live on [street name], I object to my road and the surrounding area being moved into the Mount Albert electorate. We are 5 minutes from Mt Eden Village and our community, school, shopping, in fact everything is centred around Mount Eden/Epsom and the surrounding area. I cannot even remember the last time I went to Mount Albert for anything - I feel no connection to that community whatsoever. It makes much more sense to stay in Epsom.

Stuart Tomsett

Moving from Epsom to Mt Albert Electoral. We are far closer to Mt eden Village and the general Epsom area than we are to Mt Albert. We have no affiliation with Mt Albert. We dont use their parks, we dont use their roads. What happens in Mt albert does not really effect us. The boundary change promoted, is very small and i dont see why it needs to changed at all

Mrs Cheryll Palmer

We are located in the Epsom Electorate ([street name]) and wish it to remain in this electorate. We are part of all Epsom activities/libraries,schools , shops , village etc all close walking distance. Mt Albert is not in our daily lives at all and certainly for the 20+ years we don’t use, or are in the Mt Albert area for services or daily life

Wyatt McKay

I object to this change as [street name] is definitely more epsom electorate than mt Albert. We are right next to mt Eden and the associated shops. My house valuation is based being in this electorate, and other reasons. For example school zones.

Yifan Yang

I strongly object to the proposed electorate change that would move [street name] from Epsom to Mt Albert, as this directly impacts the associated school zoning. We purchased our home at a premium specifically because it was within both the Epsom electorate and the zone of a top-performing girls’ school -Epsom Girls Grammar School with the intention of enrolling our two daughters. This change would significantly reduce the value of our investment and disrupt plans made in good faith. It affects many families who have made similar commitments based on current boundaries. I urge you to reconsider this proposal to preserve fairness, stability, and community trust.

Claire Tomsett

I object to the changes proposed to move [street name] (amongst other streets north of Balmoral) from the Epsom Electorate to Mt Albert Electorate. These streets are closer and have associations with Eden-Epsom not Mt Albert. Furthermore I have no associations with or use any of the facilities or roads in Mt Albert. I have associations and use the roads and facilities in the Epsom area and as such have more interest and opinion on what happens in this area. I dont see the purpose in relocating such a small area to an area that has no relevance to the people affected by this change.

Emma Post

Mt Roskill incorporating Epsom streets

As a resident of [street name] Mt Eden we look to Mount Eden, not Mount Albert, for our day-to-day life – shopping, amenities and leisure.

We care deeply about education and specifically purchased our house in [street name] so that our two girls could attended EGGS.

This change would split the Epsom Girls’ Grammar School zone – which closely mirrors the electorate boundaries – between Epsom and Mount Albert, meaning we would longer be in the EGGS zone.

Dougal Blyth

These proposals would see some Balmoral residents (residents in the area north of Balmoral Road up to Herbert, Croydon and Fairview Roads) removed from Epsom and placed in the Mount Albert electorate. The proposed changes simply do not make sense: (i) these residents look to Mount Eden, not Mount Albert, for their day-to-day life – shopping, amenities and leisure; (ii) residents in the Epsom electorate care deeply about education. This change would split the Epsom Girls’ Grammar School zone – which closely mirrors the electorate boundaries – between Epsom and Mount Albert, dividing this strong community of interest.

Alexandra Harvison

Do not want to see some Balmoral residents removed from Epsom and placed in the Mount Albert electorate. Also the break up of EGGs district.

Eliza Chan

I object to the removal of the area north of Balmoral Road from Epsom to Mount Albert because that area is closer to Epsom and that most of our social connections are in Epsom. I feel being cut off from a part of my life if the change is implemented.

Jayne Cobham

I object to changing the boundary for two reasons. Firstly, we live in Mt Eden, socialise and do our daily living in Mt Eden, want to be represented within the Mt Eden/Epsom electorate as we align our lives with that group. We do not live in Mt Albert, have never been associated with Mt Albert and do not have any link or relationship with Mt Albert. Secondly, we align with schools in Epsom and our history is with the schools in Epsom and we would be devastated to lose that link to that history and access to the schools our children have been part of and we foresee the next generation of our family being part of.

Mr Jackson Somerville

I live in [street name] - and have done all my life. This is in a area that has been marked to move from Epsom to Mount Albert Electorate. All of my day to day life is orientated to the Epsom electorate - the main roads of Balmoral and Dominion Roads particularly contribute to this - but I do not identify with Mt Albert as my "base"
