Local Jobs

In our rural community, which is so far away from any big cities, local employment is key.
I have always supported local business and will continue to call for more quality jobs in our community.

I've been a local business owner and know how hard it can be. The council needs to do more to support companies who want to expand and take on more people.
We must keep our rural economy working!

Election pledges

I'm getting a really good feeling while out and about meeting people during this election.

I want to make 3 key pledges I make to the people of Stratton and Grenville ward:

• I will always put people above politics when representing you.
• I will continue to work hard all year around and get results.
• I will keep listening to your views and fighting for our area.

I want to carry on fighting for a fair deal for our area... Thanks for your support!

Cornwall can’t afford to go on like this!

The Conservatives at Cornwall Council have left a shameful legacy.

They have threatened our services, but spend £1 million a month on consultants! 

They even hired taxis to ferry tea and coffee around council offices! Instead of cutting waste they have cut front line services.

Since running the council they have...

• Tried to close Bude Sea Pool
• Threatened our libraries 
• Let play areas fall into ruin
• Closed public toilets
• Failed to collect our rubbish
• Neglected our roads

We can't go on like this!

Do you think Cornish and Gypsy is the same?

I'm pretty sure most people would think not, but Cornwall Council seem to. Much to the disgust of many residents, in a form for housing benefit and council tax benefit there is a tick box section for ethnicity in which Cornwall Council has give you the option of ticking the Gyspy / Traveller / Cornish box...

I am not Cornish Born and bred, but I do care greatly about Cornwall. I'm appalled about this and will be supporting Cllr Alex Folkes in his bid to get this changed as soon as possible (see Alex's blog about the same subject)

This adds to the list of missteps and mistakes that Cornwall Council have made. Which leads to the question are the Conservative 'leaders' of Cornwall council incompetent or do they just not care.
