Firstly, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the many Labour and Conservative voters who have pledged me their support.

Full statement

You've made it clear that you're disillusioned with the traditional parties—and that you're ready to make a change. By choosing to support an independent candidate, you're sending a powerful message: you want your voice heard, and you want real accountability.
Your vote is safe with me. I share your values:
* I believe in law and order.
* I’m committed to proper scrutiny of LCC finances.
* I want less waste on administration and more investment in frontline services.
* I believe Council Officers must be held to account.
* I want to protect and support our most vulnerable residents.
* I want every child and every family to have the chance to thrive.
* I want well-maintained roads and footpaths we can be proud of.
* I want the very best adult social care for our loved ones.
* I don’t want to see nuclear dumping or huge electric pylons in Lincolnshire
With your support, I believe we can elect a truly independent, cross-party Councillor for Skegness South—someone who works for you, not the party machine.
Thank you again.
Paul Collins. Skegness South May 1st.
