Previous CandidateChange Maker
John Dominic Cooney
Independent candidate for Banister & Polygon
Independent
I am a local businessman and publican. I am free of national party political dogma and will focus on the topics that matter to the local community. I will force greater transparency on how much money the council generates from local tax payers and how they spend it. I will also prioritise on matters relating to developing business and personal prosperity. I am tenacious, a proven successful businessmen and serial winner. I will fight like hell for what matters.
