“I am standing again for re-election with I believe a track record to be proud of. I have been an extremely active Councillor with an excellent attendance record who actively participates in all meetings in a constructive but often critical manner.
“I have supported many constituents with a variety of issues and frequently achieved results that looked very unlikely at the beginning. I have worked with all three Community Councils in a positive manner, supporting them when required.
“I have often challenged the status quo and I have watched with dismay at the ruling Independent Group bringing the name of Pembrokeshire into disrepute with their actions.
“We have seen critical reports from Estyn, CSSIW, the Welsh Audit Office, plus the farcical events surrounding the previous Chief Executive and it is my belief that the people of Pembrokeshire have lost trust with their Councillors.
“This election may well see the Independent Group lose power but it is clear to me that no one grouping will have a majority. Consensus and working together will be vital and I would like to play a constructive role in such a process. I am a Liberal Democrat but I will work with anyone – from any party or unaligned – for the good of Pembrokeshire and to reestablish trust in our local government.
“I look forward to meeting you on the doorsteps and please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I really hope that you will feel able to support me and give me a vote of confidence for the work that I have done in the last nine years.
“If I am voted in again, I promise to continue working hard on your behalf on both local issues and for the good of Pembrokeshire as a whole. Three reasons why you might wishto vote for me.
• I have a track record of fighting hard for local people
• I am known in the Council for asking tough questions
• I’m also known for suggesting good ideas”
