Let's talk about... being Independent

28th Apr 2021 | Opinion

When I first stood for election for Parish Council 10 years ago, it was as myself, an Independent. We all did. Who needs parties at a Parish Council? We're all working for our community and we're all grown-ups. I've never been a member of any party, so when in 2015 I decided to continue my fight against the Brantham Regeneration Area plans I knew I would be an Independent candidate for Babergh.

In my view, what applied at Parish could work at District. Having watched some of the antics and games played as a result of party politics over the years, I don't think I was wrong.
