Liberal Democrat Rosette

For the many people who have been wondering where I have been recently, I have been very busy fighting the local elections.

I’m afraid to say we did not win the Emmbrook ward by a mere 11 votes. The next time someone tell me they don’t think their vote counts, I can tell them most sincerely that it does, every single one of them does.

I grew up in Wokingham and went to school locally. I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years and got into the idea of local politics because I see the bad planning and other decisions being made without consideration of the long term affects on the area.

But, I am very thankful to the 1074 people who did put their hopes in me by putting the ‘X’ in box next to my name. I can only hope that it still sends the message to the incumbent Conservatives that I wanted to convey. Which is if they continue to build on our green lands without fully consulting properly with local residents, they cannot expect to do well in future elections.

Onwards an upwards!
