In the years that I have helped put up our Christmas lights and, for that matter, in the time that I have been volunteering locally, I have never stood side-by-side, tackling a local issue hands on, with any town councillor.
As a young voter, tax payer and employer who experiences the apparent misanthropy from our political leadership meeting behind closed doors and political representatives (at all levels) being negatively reported on in the papers, her virtue and continued leadership as our town Mayor gives me hope for the future.
In this new year, when we need to be working together for a prosperous new British decade, I have not doubt that it is those people choosing to behave and engage with the community as she does, that we need in local politics.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. When the town councillors engage with the community - indeed, rolling up their sleeves with the many local volunteers, ongoing cynicism will change. Thank you Jan.
