Candidate for District and Town Councillor

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 12 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Taxes, spending and value for money

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Lower taxes — and 'fix the waste' — as the core of a simple, no-nonsense platform (waste filed under taxes, spending and value for money per owner).

  • Calls his platform simple and no-nonsense.
  • Names lowering taxes as its core.
  • Pledges to fix the waste — filed under taxes, spending and value for money.

'Fix the roads' — the core of a simple, no-nonsense platform.

  • Calls his platform simple and no-nonsense.
  • Names fixing the roads as its core.
