My Commitment to You

By voting for me I commit to:

• Defend our rural communities from inappropriate large-scale development;
• Ensure that rural community interests are adequately considered in all relevant Colchester Borough Council decision making processes;
• Ensure that as residents we get to choose if 20mph zones are the right choice for our village and should be implemented;
• Ensure that north Colchester rural communities are properly represented at Borough Planning Committee level – currently this is not the case;
• Defend against cuts in our rural public transport service and strive for greater investment in this area.
• Work tirelessly to ensure CBC provides it’s Parishes with adequate project capital grant funding derived from the Council tTaxes paid by rural community residents and businesses.
• Speak in defence of West Bergholt and Eight Ash Green interests unfettered by party political positioning;
• Press for a voter-elected Mayor/Council Leader chosen by all borough residents.
• Admit when a wrong decision has been made and strive to avoid a repeat;
• Work to keep party politics out of local decision-making.
