What has made you decide to stand for election?

Have been a Councillor since 1976 with a break between 1995 & 2002 following a heart attack.  Want to continue serving constituents as long as they want me and I am up to it.

What are the key issues for your ward?

Traffic- congestion, speeding, volume etc.  Threats of excessive and undesirable development.

If you were elected how would you keep your constituents informed?

Through Parish Councils and via newsletters. Possibly by “new technology”!!  I’m not really comfortable with twitter etc but will probably start a blog.

Anything else to add?

No.
