Why would people want to vote for me?

I have lived in Halsdon ward for over 40 years and have seen many changes in the ward. I live in a road that suffers from being a 'rat run'.

Before I retired I worked for 33 years out in the community as a care assistant for social services.

I am very concerned about those who need care at home in view of the shortage of people who work or wish to work in community care.

I am concerned that Exmouth hospital seems to still have a ward not in use for respite or for those who no longer need care in the acute hospital, hopefully to move into care at home.

I was a founder member of Exmouth Archers.

During the last four years, I have been raising funds for beach wheelchairs for the disabled.

We now have a storage unit and have eight sponsored wheelchairs. Most disabled people now will be able to go on the beach with their family and friends and enjoy the sand and even the sea.

I have now passed it to Exmouth Town Council who opened it up last August. Bookings via Exmouth Town Council website.

I have been a councillor on both East Devon District Council and Exmouth Town Council.

While on East Devon, I chaired the very successful housing review board looking after the tenants and listening to their views and we were successful in trying to increase the housing stock.

I am passionate about providing a home that is affordable to rent or buy for those who are on low incomes and young people who are starting out.

Maybe a modular home that are now being produced. We have to find a way to help more people with social housing this will be my main priority if I am elected.

Please support me - thank you for listening.
