Perhaps, for the benefit of the Forum readers, you could outline some of your policies, Yorkie?
First I would not make any promises that I had no intention of keeping.
Second I would not follow the doctrine of any one Political Party.
Policies would be based on good old downright common sense needs of the Community.
Having been in business I believe that Councils should be answerable to their residents as Companies have to be to their shareholders.
In Industry efficiency and cost awareness are of prime importance, such should be the case in Local Government without sacrificing the quality of essential services to the community.
I would listen to the public but would not glibly agree to every request unless it was affordable and of benefit to everyone.
Plenty more where that came from!
Can't fire all the ammunition in one go!
