Revealed: Your vote on QLDC's best and worst elected members
A Crux quickfire survey of the mid term performance of our elected mayor and councillors has revealed who, in your view, is doing their job well - and who's performing not so well.
The survey ran for around 48 hours on April 3rd and 4th and ranked each elected member by three categories:
- Communication with ratepayers
- Voting decisions and policy making
- Strength of public profile
In each category survey respondents had six choices of performance level:
- Excellent
- Good
- Neutral
- Poor
- Very Poor
- Don't know
The full detailed results are published below but here's the top and bottom three elected members in each category based on the percentage of respondents who voted either Excellent or Good.
