Candidate for Councillor Ward 5
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.
Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.
Will I be able to afford to live here?
Bawa lists 'Housing Stability & Property Standards' among his key campaign priorities.
