Action not Words
My Policy Commitments to You
You can judge me on my actions. I made commitments when standing for election. I spoke about these when meeting people. I will be open with you and report progress. I will deliver on my promises.
Social - Investment in Services
There is to be a significant expansion in local houses in the coming years. The plans could lead to a huge increase in the population. We all recognise that there is a need for extra services. The doctors and schools are at capacity. We need investment now and where it counts. Improvements should be in advance of the houses. I will strive for the improvements our community deserves.
Environment - Nature Recovery
Sir David Attenborough hit an environmental nail squarely on the head at the end of his recent Planet programmes. In the face of a crisis for our natural world he looks us straight in the eye with a direct and stark message: 'the future for wildlife is up to every one of us'. I am committed to championing our successful community driven Nature Recovery programme and extending this to the surrounding towns and villages. Together we can play our part in protecting our planet.
Economic - Tourism and Businesses
I will champion the case for Harleston, Needham and Wortwell to be at the forefront of further tourism initiatives. I will use our successful involvement on the tourism website to seek more investment and boost our visitor economy. There are many ideas which have been put forward. Ideas from people who know the town and villages, the people who live in them. Together we can better progress new ideas and initiatives.
