Full statement

He lives in Mile End, with family nearby and loves the area. He served in the Senior Civil Service and wants to bring those skills and experiences to help others. With Martin Goss, Phil Coleman and Anne Turrell he has been helping the local Lib Dem team to ‘make a difference’, to respond to community needs as they arise and to lend a hand. His priorities include arguing for ban on non-recyclable plastics, zero tolerance on dog fouling, litter and anti-social behaviour and action on the issues that matter most to the people of Mile End. David is the Cabinet lead on business and resources, and has also taken the lead for the Council on tree planting across the borough, the Colchester Orbital and action to reduce non-recyclable plastics.
