Conservative candidate for Goresbrook
Dear Neighbour, I hope you're well. We're facing important challenges, and I want to address them head-on. Our current Labour-run council has no opposition and financial decisions raise concerns. £13 million funding for Parsloes Park and supporting ULEZ amidst living cost issues needs reconsideration. Annual council tax hikes hurt us. Essential services like road surfacing and CCTV cameras are overlooked. It's disheartening to see our hard-earned money being funneled into projects that don't seem to align with our immediate needs. Waiting hours on phone for the service and delayed emails response from the council are frustrating. Efficient and accessible council services are not just a convenience but a fundamental right of every resident. But I can't do this alone. I need your support, your voice, and your VOTE for the 14th September council by-election to make these changes a reality. Together, we can reverse the ULEZ decision, ensure that our resources are spent responsibly, and demand the improvements we need in our essential services. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I am eager to hear your thoughts, concerns, and ideas for our council's future. And I look forward to earning your trust and your vote. Please feel free to reach out to me.
