Paul Richards

I am campaigning to represent our area, Heavitree & Whipton Barton, on the County Council. I was born in Exeter and have been a resident of Heavitree for the last 30 years. I have worked for Royal Mail for 38 years, so have first hand knowledge of how our roads and pavements have deteriorated over the years. We all know that traffic volumes are a problem. A more integrated and reliable public transport system is needed in Devon to reduce the need for people to use their cars. The safety of pedestrians, schoolchildren and cyclists also requires addressing. We need a choice of proposals for which everyone who may be affected can have their opinions heard before a suitable choice is selected. If you want a councillor who will listen to you and stand up for you, then vote for me on Thursday 1st May.
