THE SCOTT SPECTATOR NEWS FROM
ALASTAIR SCOTT MP FOR WAIRARAPA
WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF THE SCOTT SPECTATOR I love the Wairarapa and it is a privilege to represent constituents – you, the people of the Wairarapa – in Parliament. There has been plenty of good news from our Government in recent times – a huge boost in Police numbers meaning more cops on the beat and in our rural areas, a long overdue pay rise for more than 55,000 care and support workers, an increase in mental health and addiction nurses, and more students achieving NCEA Level 2 than ever before. Here in the Wairarapa, we’ve welcomed Ministers Paula
Bennett and Paul Goldsmith to our patch, and seen huge growth in our towns. While the summer weather didn’t join our party, tourism remains one of our biggest earners, bringing visitors in and providing jobs and continued growth to the Wairarapa. I was really proud of how the hard-working people behind such events as Wings Over Wairarapa, the Masterton A&P Show, the Wairarapa Harvest Festival and the Wairarapa Balloon Festival dealt with what the weather gods threw at them, and marched on as best they could.
Down in the Beehive, I continue to work hard for the Wairarapa, taking the concerns of the people to my ministerial colleagues and advocating as much as I can for our constituents. I look forward to an exciting 2017 and to meeting as many of you as I can.
