I am Gary Blundell, and I am proud to put myself forward once again to serve the residents of Costessey.

Full statement

Having lived in our community since 2007, I understand the issues that matter most to local people because I experience them every day alongside you. As an already elected councillor, I have remained consistently active in the community—working week in, week out to support residents, respond to concerns, and help find practical solutions.

I believe in being honest about what local government can and cannot do. I won’t make unrealistic promises about cutting taxes or solving national issues that fall outside the remit of a local councillor. What I will promise is this: I will listen to you, I will be accessible, and I will continue to take action on the issues that directly affect our community.

My approach has always been simple—be present, be responsive, and stand up for residents. That is what I have done, and that is what I will continue to do.

If elected, I will keep working hard to ensure Costessey remains a place where residents feel heard, supported, and represented
