Statement to voters
Paul - Has lived in the Maidstone all of his life, the last 15 years in Maidstone South KCC Division - Is a husband, parent and grandparent. - Has represented business at local, county and regional level on Economic Business Partnerships. - Educated to degree level, decisive with proven leadership and negotiation skills We need a councillor who will stand up for family, community and county with common sense policies, tenacity and above all with consideration. Paul felt he had two choices give up voting or stand up and seek to Reform matters before it is too late. Reform UK party was the obvious choice as it is the only true alternative and their policies are both common sense and will genuinely deliver for the local community, Maidstone and Malling constituency and County. Reform Education, Reform Social Care, Reform Local planning, Reform Transport and Reform Education. Reform Local Government Restart Local Economies Rebuild Local Communities The Maidstone and Malling Constituency area has seen growth without the necessary infrastructure and to the detriment of existing residents. Maidstone and Malling is being left behind in regular rail services with Thameslink services promised for years but no closer now than pre-covid. Local bus services are being severely constrained at a time when more are needed. Paul's experience in strategic development gives him a comprehensive understanding of what is required to re-address the balance in favour of existing residents. There is a lot of inappropriate development which exacerbates the issues and provides little or no benefit. Paul will draw on his experience to lobby hard for the residents of Maidstone and Malling if elected. He believes it's not solely about the cost of living but also the quality of life that matters. As a local resident he has a vested interest in delivering sound outcomes and a common-sense approach which has been missing for the last 15 odd years. Paul wants to deliver for all of the electorate irrespective of party allegiances. It is time to vote for a Councillor who will work hard for the electorate and a vote for Paul will deliver this.
