Priorities & Pledges
Our top six for our Parishes and Borough
-
Continue to work hard with the Openreach rural fibre schemes to improve Broadband access speeds for our Residents and Businesses.
-
Campaign to reduce the excessive housing targets Government has pushed out to the Borough and challenge any new planning reforms. Also to provide the urgent need for access to affordable housing for the young and elderly that live in our Parish.
-
Push for more Democracy and Transparency within the Borough - what do our Council tax payers want their money spent on and how to revitalise our Villages and Town centres.
-
Campaign to protect our local environment and support polices to cut carbon emissions, in ways that are sustainable to our residents.
-
Campaign to help relieve parking, traffic issues as well as improve bus routes and road safety in our villages.
-
To be a more effective Independent voice for the residents in Rural Tunbridge Wells where we both have lived for many years.
