Ben Cox

for Henderson-Massey Local Board

ACT Local has selected Ben Cox – a small business owner, community volunteer, and Te Atatū Peninsula resident – as its candidate for the Henderson-Massey Local Board in this year’s Auckland Council election.

Ben runs a local advertising consultancy and serves on the boards of Waitakere Swimming Club and TAP Sea Scouts, supporting youth in the area.

Ben is known for his practical, no‑nonsense approach. He wants the Henderson‑Massey Local Board focused on what really matters — looking after local services and facilities, setting clear priorities, and pushing council to deliver the improvements our area needs. Ben wants Henderson‑Massey to be a safer, better place for everyone.

“I care about this community because it’s my home too,” Ben says.

“People are tired of seeing their rates go up while things like parks, footpaths and community facilities fall behind. We need a local board that listens, plans properly, and isn’t afraid to push council on the big issues.

"I’ll work hard to make sure every rates dollar is spent wisely, that our board advocates strongly and pushes council for safer roads, better stormwater management and well‑maintained facilities, and that Henderson‑Massey gets its fair share. I want families and businesses to feel proud to live and work here.” – Ben Cox
