I am the working Alderman that Coleman Street Ward needs.

Full statement

This is a working ward, home to businesses large and small that rely on sensible decisions, reliable services, and a Corporation that understands how commerce actually works. My focus will be practical representation, not slogans. I will focus on our needs, not on multiple other roles.

The Government is threatening a major cut in the City’s income, answering that must be the top priority.

The City is a hub for global business but at its heart is this place that we share. It needs to be well run, financially disciplined, and responsive to our needs. That means keeping costs competitive, supporting a safe and clean environment, and ensuring its decisions are sensible and timely - and that’s what I shall work to provide.

I live in The City, just next to the Ward boundary and I care.

I will report to you regularly, listen to you and speak up for you. Whenever issues arise, I will push for solutions that make sense for those who work here every day.
Coleman Street deserves an Alderman who understands and is engaged, accessible, and works hard. That’s me – The Wise Old Bird – I shall value your support and your vote on 5 February and afterwards.

JOHN MAY
