I have been an Ashford Borough Councillor, representing Mersham since 1999.

Full statement

I have been a Kent County Councillor, representing Ashford Central since 2017. I am therefore very experienced in being a strong voice representing residents and would like to serve for a further 4 years representing Mersham, Finberry and Sevington South on the Council.

Before becoming a County Councillor, I was a governor for East Kent Hospitals University Trust which operates the William Harvey so this gives me great experience on the workings of the NHS and how it can best serve the community.

I will work hard to ensure the Council is working for you and will stop them dragging their feet on doing things that you expect them to do. I will use my experience to get things done as quickly as possible.

The next 4 years will require an experienced councillor for the area who has worked with the Parish Council, ABC, KCC and NHS for many years. If you elect me as your Borough Councillor, I will work tirelessly to support residents, so vote Paul Bartlett, Conservative on 2nd May, for action in Mersham and Finberry.
