The candidate’s biographies should cover this set of questions:
- Tell our readers about yourself
- What’s your personal statement about why you’re standing and what you want to do over the next 4 years
- Do you live in Stone, if not what’s your link to Stone and your reason for standing as Stone candidate?
Jim was first elected to Stone Town Council in 2015 and has been Town Mayor for an unprecedented two consecutive terms. He worked tirelessly to promote the image of Stone throughout the local area and beyond and is particularly delighted that the Crown Wharf development, which he publicly suggested as soon as he became Mayor, is now becoming reality. He also instigated both the regular Parish Liaison Group meetings, which bring together our neighbouring parishes with the town, and the annual appointment of Mayor’s Cadets to strengthen the links between the youth of the town and the council.
“I’m eager to continue to promote our wonderful town and to build on the successes of the past few years.”
