Why I'm standing

I was asked to stand and because I believe democracy must be locally experienced if it is to mean something.

About me

I am a 'localist' as compared to a 'centralist' and see too many issues important to local communities decided by central government with little or no reference to those hopes and desires.

My priorities

Improve the cost effectiveness of our local government.
Encourage a more participative approach in decision-making by engaging community boards.
Ensure the council staff are encouraged in a customer service approach in dealing with the public.
