WE CAN ALL CHANGE
|
As an independent I am unaffiliated to any political party. I am free to make the right decisions free from influence or pressure. I believe it is vital to listen to what people want and need and to respond with the best advice available.
I will therefore be meeting business and residents of the ward to hear what they are concerned about. DON'T EXPECT TO SEE A CHANGE

I will work with the members of the ‘Herefordshire Alliance’ – the Independents, The Green Party and It’s Our County - to move the Council from a Cabinet System of governance to a more representative Committee System. to deliver: Transparent, honest actions for Herefordshire Modern transport and communications for business and environment Social support and protection for all. The current system means only 8 members make most of the decisions and officers and lobbyists have too much influence. |

While we investigate how to change this to a more representative Committee System, The Herefordshire Independents, It’s Our County, and The Green Party have formed an alliance. The cabinet now has members from all of these parties in it.
