Statement to voters

Originally from South London, Jim moved to Poole twelve years ago and currently lives on the Poole Road within the Canford Cliffs constituency ward.

Full statement

Jim is a rail worker by trade and an experienced Trade Union representative and negotiator.

Jim's three main commitments to the people of Canford Cliffs are : As a motorist I share residents frustration at the lack of coordination and consultation around roadworks in our area. Labour are committed to minimising disruption to residents.

Jim is a keen open water swimmer and really enjoys our fantastic coast. Labour will invest in our award winning beaches to encourage responsible tourism, take action to fine polluters and stop the sewage dumping scandal.

Too much of our hard earned money has been wasted by the current council. Labour will ‘open the books’ to audit money wasted on vanity projects. In addition Labour will introduce proper financial controls and put and end to contracts for friends and associates of council members.

This statement was added by Jim Buchanan, their team, or by a Democracy Club volunteer, based on information published by the candidate elsewhere.
