In the wake of my decision to step back from public life at the beginning of the year, after almost 20 years of representing the four villages that form Neroche ward (Ashill, Broadway, Donyatt and Horton), I am delighted that Kate Wylie Carrick has stepped up to the plate and has agreed to put herself forward as a candidate in the upcoming by-election, to be held on 3rd March.
As many people will be aware, I continue to be active within these communities and intend to be so for the foreseeable future, supporting Kate in her efforts to represent local residents, to listen to their concerns and actively ensure that their voices are heard.
The last two years have been tough for us all, but in the case of South Somerset District Council this has been exacerbated by recent revelations concerning corruption and fraud, which coupled with a number of controversial planning issues in the ward, has meant that many residents feel that they have not been well served by our local authority. I feel confident that Kate will continue my legacy of impartiality and integrity in being the true voice of all residents.
