This week, we're proud to welcome three outstanding individuals whose dedication and depth of expertise will help strengthen our mission to build a safer, more connected Cambridge.
LYNLEY ALLISON
With over 30 years of teaching experience across Auckland’s North Shore, the Kāpiti Coast, and now Cambridge, Lynley brings a deep understanding of tamariki and their diverse learning needs. Passionate about sport, gardening, and actively involved in the local community through volunteering at the Velodrome and Lake Karāpiro, she brings energy, care, and connection to everything she does. Her commitment to the Safer Community Trust reflects a strong belief in building a safe, resilient Cambridge — across both rural and urban communities — by developing meaningful, engaging education programmes for the next generation.
ANDREW MYERS
I was born in Cambridge now my young family and I are living on and leading a dairy farm business out from Leamington in Roto-o-rangi. I have representative roles with Fonterra and Cambridge Community Board. I hold governance roles on two charitable Trusts. My aim is to give back to the community and help turn potential into performance.
JOHN FISHER
John and Margaret dairy farm on Parallel Road, Monavale, and have a Deer and Dry stock Farm at Puahue. We have two sons currently working in Canada and a daughter with a horse business on part of the Parallel Road Farm.
John has past governance experience with Federated Farmers and as a Waikato Regional Councilor, and past member of Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust Board
Rural Crime does not seem to be an issue in Cambridge at the moment. I suspect there is a lot of low-level theft occurring like fuel and tools. We need to keep an eye out for suspicious activity, talk to neighbours, and report it to Police.
