Where local action started for me, and where follow-through still matters
Great Paxton is where I live, and where I first got properly involved in local issues. It is also where I saw first-hand how hard it can be to turn clear local need into actual delivery. That experience is a big part of why I’m standing.
Every village in this ward has its own character and its own priorities. What links them is something simpler. People want to be heard, kept informed and properly represented when practical local issues need pushed through the system.

Part of good local representation is being clear about which level of government can actually move an issue. That is how you turn frustration into follow-through.
Parish council raises issues, reflects the village voice and keeps local priorities visible.
District council supports, amplifies and helps move issues forward across the wider system.
County council delivers on roads, transport and infrastructure, which is why alignment matters.
Great Paxton is where my local work started, but it is not where it stops.
What I have learned here about persistence, alignment and follow-through is exactly what I want to bring across the whole ward.
If there is something missing from this picture, I would rather hear it and improve it than pretend the work is done.
If you live in Great Paxton and there’s something I’ve missed, I want to hear it.
