Christopher Robert Priest
Labour candidate for Canbury Gardens
I’ve lived in this borough for over 40 years, and worked in the computer industry until I retired. I’ve served as a councillor for the Canbury area for four years, and as a governor of the Kings Oak primary school for 18 years. The Tories are out of step with the borough, and cannot provide effective opposition. The Liberal Democrats say they are the only alternative, but their record running the council is poor. As a councillor, I will focus on developing the borough sustainably, to meet local needs. And on improving services for those with the greatest needs.
