Full statement

I have very good connections with local communities and im aware of local issues.
My campaigning as a candidate helped me to understand what people want from politics

This is about standing up for the issues we all care about. I’m tired of this community thinking there is no-one there for them: I want to be a councillor that is deep-rooted in the community; a councillor who holds regular surgeries and truly listens to people.
There are many issues in our area but this one is very close to me.
I see a lot of young people in this area, who are the same age as me, that are already engaged with drugs and other anti-social behaviour. It makes me wonder: who is representing them? Where is their voice? Why are the issues that led to this not being addressed?

As a councillor, my first steps will be to listen to these types of complex social issues, and see how I can use my power to help. Then, I want to address the conditions of our road, and what we can do to prevent the dangerous driving that often occurs in our area. From then on, I want to be regularly canvassing the area on weekends and holding monthly surgeries.
