Strong leaders for challenging times

As I am sure you are all aware we are going through some challenging times at the moment, and will unfortunately continue to do so whilst the country gets itself out of the mess it’s in. This is all thanks to the mess that the last labour government caused with our economy. We will continue to face some tricky decisions not just the country as a whole but us here in Mendip district council!!

Conservative run Mendip district council have made the right decisions in these challenging times and this can be seen by the fact that the council has no debt despite the county council being in debt to the tune of 360 million thanks to the last lib dem administration.

Should the residents of st Thomas ward in Wells elect me as their district councillor on 5th of May and return the Conservatives control of the district council I will continue to support the right decisions being made. This includes providing the locals with value for money and doing more for less with the services we provide!!

Something about me for the residents of Wells

I have been a resident of Wells that has lived here virtually my whole life I deeply care for the city and making it a better place for those of us that our lucky to live here, and to our visitors
.
As a individual that works with adults with learning disabilities I greatly value the importance of making our community as accessible as possible.

Therefore should you decide to elect me I will do my up most best to keep you informed in the decisions being made and giving you the opportunity to contribute to the process. Of coarse as a local I deeply care about the enviroment we all live in.

Wells - Traffic light mad!!

From my local Conservative party resident survey questionnaires I gather many local residents share the same pet hate as my self and that is the stupid amount of traffic lights one must encounter when travelling on the Wells releif road.

On a half mile approx stretch of the road there is five sets of lights, if your luck is anything like mime when it comes to traffic lights then you proberly get stuck at every single one. I strongly feel that we could do with introducing more roundabouts on the route particually at the new street junction.

It is why should I be elected as the district and city councillor for the st Thomas ward I will campaign for a roundabout at the New street junction.

Candidate Announcement!!!

I would like to officially announce here on my blog that I have taken the decision to stand as a city and district council candidate for the Conservative party in the St Thomas ward of Wells. During my campaign I am very much looking foward to gettting out and about communicating with the residents of the St Thomas ward finding out the aspirations and hopes for the future.

Should you the voters decide to elect me to represent you in this great city of Wells, these are my aims for my time in office.

1.To support the job creation for residents of the city especially young adults.
2. Supporting the provision of affordable housing for the residents across the city.
3.Engaging with the young people of the city supporting opportunities for participation in the local community and supporting a continuation of a youth service based here in Wells.
4.Work in close partnership with the local police and supporting CCTV across the city.
5. To promote a sustainable enviroment across the city.

Most importantly I wish to be accessible as much as possible to the great fellow residents of the St Thomas ward so that the voices of the locals can be heard in the decisions that the council makes.

If you wish to get in touch with me please don't hesitate to send me an email and I will respond as soon as I can.

Local candidates can be affiliated but non-political at city/district council level

I have noticed from some of the letters in the local papers recently that some of the local residents have quite rightly raised the issue of local councils becoming too political at the city and Mendip levels of the council. However I do not feel that a councillor needs to be necessarily independent of political affiliation to be an effective member of the local council.

Anybody that wishes to stand at local council level then generally all has a genuine desire to make the local area a better place for all regardless of political affiliation or none at all. It is the beliefs/values that vary which in a democracy I’m sure you will agree is very important, it is why I have my own blog as I am affiliated to the Conservative party.

I do hope that there will be a good variety of local candidates standing this May, from different political affiliations or none at all to give you the local residents a clear choice of which local person you feel best represents you on the local council.
