A lot of people have been asking me about what the issues are that I am fighting this campaign on, so I am going to summarise them below. Before I do, though, I have to say to anyone thinking of getting involved in a campaign like this:
- Make sure you have plenty of stamina
- Be prepared to expect the unexpected
- Don't be afraid of dogs - most won't bite you
- Promise nothing you cannot deliver
- Be nice to those who are probably not going to vote for you, but even nicer to those who are!
- Watch out for letter boxes with brushes in them - it is hard to push single page leaflets through them
- Hope for fine weather
- Observe the nice things you see and learn from them
- Respect your opponents - but disagree with them if you think they are wrong
- Get plenty sleep
In the case of number 10, I have failed miserably!
At the time of writing there is less than a week to go now before the polls open. Over the weekend, and because there simply isn't enought time/space to put a full description of what I am about on the last leaflet we deliver, I will post it on this blog, so you can read more, always assuming you want to, of course.
With a few short days of campaigning left, most of The Birds Estate has been covered and the rest will follow. After that, it's a case of filling in the gaps, and persuading more people to support my campaign.
· I will insist that the ludicrous toilet-closure policy is revisited
· I will urge that allowances are cut by 10% immediately, and expenses reviewed
· I will request an immediate assessment of vacant properties to bring them back into usage
· I will fight tooth and nail for the retention of our green spaces, such as Riverside Park
· I will communicate all the year round every year
· I will work to ensure that the town centre is vibrant and a place that people want come to
· I will do what I have always done – I’ll work with vigour and enthusiasm
