“I am delighted to be standing as your ‘totally independent’ candidate. 20 years raising my family in Pembrokeshire, working as a counsellor and therapist with The Health Detectives, now school governor at STP.

“The battle for a sixth form at STP, taught me how some of our senior councillors behave.    If elected, I will support your new school, find the best new traffic access, and resolve existing dangerous traffic problems around both schools.

“Working in town, shocked by the empty buildings and lack of attractions and activities, I did two years research, offering new regeneration models and projects to PCC with little or no response. It taught me ordinary members of the public often aren’t heard.  PCC prefers to hire expensive consultants than work with local ideas.

“At the door you made it clear we need more opportunities for young and older people. Therefore, I’ve been working on an ambitious Community Hub project to offer all these things under one roof at The Old Post Office. PCC has offered NO support and NO funding so it’s up to us.   I will challenge costly consultants, wasteful decisions and protecting special privileges – saving money for better services in our communities.”

“For years I have watched the leaders of Pembrokeshire County Council steadily suck the very soul out of our ancient town and proud county. Having shrouded themselves in secrecy they have mismanaged to such an extent that I feel I can no longer simply stand by and watch.

“My high regard for my town is shown in the fact that I have been a town councillor for 30 years and served as both Mayor and Sheriff.

“I am retired after teaching for 35 years and am sure that I have the time, energy experience and absolute determination to see that the people of Prendergast are strongly represented in the challenging times ahead.

“I realize that all services must be efficient, that a new secondary school must be built and must have its access off the by-pass. Traffic and parking problems must be addressed and access to green grass areas must be maintained and hopefully improved.

“I therefore ask the electors of Prendergast to vote for me so that I can do my best to address the concerns of each individual and those of our town and county.”
