Ward: Fishtoft
Party: Boston Bypass Independents

Elected on 3rd May 2007 as a Boston Bypass Independent Councillor representing the Fishtoft Ward.

People, their needs and concerns are my priority. I encourage ward members to contact me, as I believe that good communication is the way to achieving and resolving issues. As an Independent Councillor I am on Boston Borough Council to represent everyone in Fishtoft Ward regardless of their political beliefs. I will also be striving alongside my fellow Boston Bypass Independent Councillors to help alleviate the traffic congestion, help increase retail trade and help put Boston back on the map. As a local person I am proud of my Home Town and feel very honoured to be given the opportunity to serve the people of my ward and town as a Councillor.
