The Rutland And Stamford Mercury asked me to write something for the paper. A maximum of 200 words, this is what I have sent them.
Martin John Brookes, the independent candidate for Oakham South.
I've lived in Oakham for 18 years. I'm passionate about making our community a better place to live, work.
If elected, I will:
Listen to all residents and hold regular meetings to hear your concerns and ideas.
I will be a strong advocate for our community at the council table.
Seek to reduce council tax bills. Work to find ways to save money without cutting essential services.
Seek value for money, I will hold the council accountable for its spending and make sure that your tax pounds are being used wisely.
Fight for our green spaces. I will work to protect our beautiful countryside and ensure that future generations can enjoy it.
Protect our elderly and vulnerable. I will work to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the care and support they need.
I believe that our community is stronger when we work together. I'm asking for your vote on May 4th so that I can represent you at the council table and make a difference for Oakham South.
