I found out last Monday the 13th May that a Councilor for the Woodside Ward of Madeley Town Council had stood down, I was certain that this time I was not going to let it go to someone being Co opted onto the town council, So I got the ten signatures required and handed them into the returning officer at Telford and Wrekin council today.
I think it is about time that we had someone on the Town council who has actually been elected onto it and not someone who has just been Co Opted onto it, No matter what process is used for this it is usually someone who is just there to agree with whatever is going on and what everyone else thinks is the best thing to do. I am certainly not saying that everyone who is Co Opted onto the town council is like this but I am certain that the majority of them are.
I can say that I am Intending to stand as a candidate for the By -election and of course I am aiming to win this election, it is time for someone to bring fresh ideas to the area. From what I have read on previous minutes the town council has been trying to instigate the starting of a local youth council, now I am certain this is something that I can help with as I have previously been involved in one for a number of years.
We need someone in Woodside who is not just going to be a Yes person and agree with everything. I can guarantee that if I am elected that I will fight for what it right for the woodside ward and also for Madeley as a whole. Making sure that everyone is made accountable to what they are doing as Councillors.
