Full statement

David has lived in or around Grantham since the age of eight, went to local schools and Grantham College and has worked in the area. David grew up in a workless household with two sisters and a brother. He knows what it is like to struggle and make ends meet. David has worked hard throughout his life to prove that graft and tenacity are the cornerstones of life. He has been chair of two charities, he is a governor of a local school federation and continues to give up his time for others who are less fortunate. David wants to represent the Harrowby Ward to give back to the town that has raised him and supported him through hard times. The residents of the Harrowby ward deserve a councillor who understands the pressures we all face, and will not rest until everyone has the opportunity to succeed. On the 4th May you have two votes.
