It's Time For Change
A BIG THANK YOU
I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me or even considered voting for me in the recent council elections.
Although, as was expected, I did not win the election, your votes have given me the desire to continue to work for and with South Bermondsey residents, privately. I have been developing some ideas which I will place on the website in the coming weeks.
As you will already know there has never been a conservative councillor in South Bermondsey; however, through your faith in me, your voting has resulted in a historic count of 722 votes.
In 2002 the highest conservative vote was: 111
In 2006 the highest conservative vote was: 295
The turnout was higher than usual this year, but at just 50.8% is wasn't brilliant. If we can engage more people, and with a lot of work, we may have a better chance to getting much closer in the next election.
I will continue with my Support Our Small Shops campaign. Hopefully, the newly elected Labour Council will be more willing to give time, energy and ideas to truly develop the Blue into the exciting shopping venue it could be, and once was.
MY PLEDGES
My election pledges haven't changed, although they can not be achieved through being a councillor in the next 4 years. Therefore, I am leaving them on the website.
