John Gaskell

Labour candidate for Farnham Castle

Labour

I have lived in Weybourne, Farnham for over twenty years. In my career in IT in Holland, Belgium, and the UK, I have seen how successful infrastructure projects can work if local people are properly involved. I believe we should also look at best practice outside the locality before implementing anything new, large or small. Our services have been neglected for years, and need rebuilding. We need all levels of local government to work together to get the best value for the residents of Farnham.
