I grew up in Inverness in the 60’s, moved away for University and returned to the area, with a young family, in the mid eighties. I recently retired as a physics teacher. I am astonished by the expansion rate of Inverness without adequate additional infrastructure, whilst woefully inadequate existing infrastructure continues to deteriorate because of lack of care and maintenance. E.g., the scandalous state of some of our pavements, which make accessibility for all, difficult. Let’s change this!!

The Highland Council has become the unskilled custodian of masses of funds and the pusher of astonishingly misguided policies and pursuits, resulting in the complete disconnect from the very people it should be embracing and caring for. Huge amounts are being spent without prioritisation and proper community engagement. Let’s change this!!

The Administrative body of the Highland Council, i.e., the Elected Members, must be held accountable for their poor, ineffective decision making. Let’s change this!!

I believe we can achieve a fundamental positive change for a better Inverness that we can all proudly call home. This is why I want to stand as a Reform UK candidate and represent constituents who also want positive change for a better Inverness. I will work well and effectively, and I won’t be thwarted.
