I am very honoured to be selected to stand for the Teignouth division on Devon County Council. My priority is to create happier and more prosperous Teignmouth - to give more responsibility and resources to local people to unleash their energy and talent. Our community is packed with talented people that want to make a difference, but all too often they are marginalised by council bureaucracy or tribal party politics. I am a Liberal Democrat, and it would be less than honest to hide my opinions: however people come before party every time.
