the Council tax freeze and wants to see that people’s tax money is spent effectively and prudently.

Tom expressed his sincere gratitude to all people of goodwill who helped him to enter into the Town Council. He said “This was my first election in the UK and I found the whole experience enjoyable especially listening to people’s concerns and their anxieties. I will continue to work hard for the people in every way that I can with the assistance of my colleagues”.

Tom states “I shall raise my voice at the Council for the local community and shall always listen to the people about their priorities to be accomplished. I believe that politics should be about positive action; not just words, not just promises and not constant negativity about other parties. I shall be sincere to my voters and shall never let my voters down”. He solicited the support and co-operation of all
people in that mission.
