Alan Thomas

As a former British soldier and current Ministry of Justice professional, I've dedicated my life to public service and protecting our communities. These experiences have instilled in me the values of discipline, integrity, and commitment to duty—values I now hope to bring to local government. Having raised my family here, I've been actively involved in community initiatives and understand the challenges we face firsthand. I believe our area deserves representation that truly listens and acts decisively on local concerns. My priorities are clear: investing in our youth to provide them with opportunities and positive pathways; tackling crime and anti-social behaviour to make our streets safer; revitalising our high streets to support local businesses; standing up for our farmers who form the backbone of our rural economy; and ensuring residents' voices are genuinely heard in all council decisions. Too often, traditional parties have ignored local needs while pursuing their own agendas. As your Reform UK candidate, I promise to put community before party politics. I'll be accessible, accountable, and work tirelessly to represent your interests. My goal is simple but ambitious: to help create a safer, stronger, and more prosperous community where families can thrive and businesses can flourish. With your support, we can build a better future together. I hope I can count on your vote to deliver the real change our community needs.
