Will Foley is keen to step up and follow on from Debbie Hewitt as the next HB regional council candidate for Central Hawke's Bay.
Fourth-generation Central Hawke's Bay farmer Will Foley has thrown his hat into the ring for the upcoming elections to be held this October.
Along with his wife Abbie, Will is based at Hatuma and continues to farm at Takapau near where he was born and raised.
With nearly 20 years
experience farming after taking over the reins from his parents, and five years as the local Federated Farmers president, Will believes he now has a valuable understanding of the CHB landscape, resource management issues and has the right attributes to contribute to the council in a constructive manner.
"With Debbie Hewitt standing down I felt the time was right to stand up and say I would have a go.
"Right now I see a booming Hawke's Bay economy which is great for the regions prosperity. With that come extra challenges to the environment and resources of the region.
