  • I am a great believer in tourism as a source of district income but we sadly lack accommodation, thereby missing out on tourist spending.

    Quality water roading and other infrastructure needs to be built and maintained to a high standard.

    Support it or lose it is the truth about local business, I personally use local trades and buy from local retailers whenever possible.
