A few people have asked me recently why on earth I want to put myself forward as a candidate in the County Council elections.
My poor friends have had to put up with me rant about the bureaucracy and time wasting of local government for a long time now. How much ‘consultation’ happens without anybody actually being listened to and action being taken? How many endless meetings take place in County Hall? I’m sure you too have questions that need answering and issues to be raised.
Well I suppose this is the very reason I’m standing. I believe I can’t just rant on, and just not do any thing about it. So over the past month I made a decision: stop raving or stand! And here I am.
I don’t believe for one moment that I’ll be able to stop all the time-wasting, but do hope that if elected I will be able to bring a fresh approach with pro-active consultation with the people of the county.
