Broughton

politician

Broughton is the mayor of Selwyn District in New Zealand, known for its rapid population growth and diverse community. Elected in 2016, he has witnessed significant changes in the local demographics, largely due to an influx of international students at Lincoln University, which has contributed to the area's appeal. Under his leadership, Selwyn has seen improvements in infrastructure, including new housing and job opportunities, but he also emphasizes the challenges that come with population growth, such as the need for additional schools and healthcare facilities. Broughton is committed to balancing development with environmental sustainability, particularly in relation to the district's productive agricultural land.
