On Your Side

I am just a member of the public, like you. Having spent almost 2 decades in the Borough of Taunton Deane, I decided to become involved in how our local authorities are run because I don’t think our existing elected representatives are doing a particularly good job. Rather than resign myself to grouching about it, I thought “I can do better than that.”  I have watched successive Council administrations make a mess of maintaining our highways and pavements, preside over incompetent planning decisions, fail to house our schools in decent, modern buildings and waste millions on inefficient management systems. Against that background it’s not hard to say, with some confidence, “I can do better than that!”

And that’s what I’m now doing.  I am helping to improve our communities by direct action through the bodies to which I am elected and by lobbying those to which I am not. What’s in it for me, some may ask? Nothing, other than the satisfaction gained from defending and improving our communities. I love where I live.
