Yesterdays election saw me lose my seat on the district council for Sweyne Park & Grange. A disappointing result for me, after 2 years of a 'full on' approach to my role and a huge amount of passion and dedication to the role. However, this is politics and National issues
can have an effect on local elections, maybe I am just a 'victim' of Brexit? Who knows what happened?
There are lessons to be learned from these elections and once I have taken stock of the situation, will decide on how best to continue to represent residents. I am after all,
only 42 years old and have time on my side (by the grace of god) to work my way through this and on to my next challenge.
I have been lucky to have support from my wife, my family, friends & residents who all put their faith in me. I am very grateful to all who helped me get this far, for me the journey has only just begun.
To be continued.........
