Happy New Year to all readers. I hope it is a prosperous and happy one for you.  As your councillor I have made a number of resolutions. Apart from the usual one of getting a grip on my weight (which always fails) I have made a number of political ones which I will try very hard to keep. You can help me to keep them by a mixture of encouragement and nagging, criticism and praise.

1. Put at least one new item per week on this website so that voters know more of what’s going on
2. Put out at least four Focus leaflets a year for the same reason
3. Respond quickly to any comments, queries or issues raised with me
4. Regularly demonstrate that as a Liberal Democrat I will put myself where my mouth is; fighting for hard-won freedoms and helping people to have control over their own lives
5. Treat everyone in the ward equally, regardless of political, social or religious opinions, age, sex, nationality, wealth and all the other things which can get in the way of that aim

Please help me to keep these resolutions. And please use me and this website to help the free-flow of information locally. If you think you know something that others should be made aware of let me know - though obviously you will accept that I have to exercise editorial judgement over what goes onto this site.
